The article discusses how important it is for software used in biology research to be easy to use. Many scientific programs are hard to understand and use, which can make research slower and less accurate. The researchers suggest that software developers should focus on making their programs user-friendly to help scientists work more efficiently. They found that many scientific software tools are not well-maintained and can be confusing for users to navigate.
