Is it just me, or did they make the examples in the video comically unintuitive? Painting swatches without color, a guide pamphlet without a map, assembly instructions without diagrams?

Is this supposed to be humor that I'm not getting, or are they really saying, "look at this solution to a problem you would have if you did normal things in the worst possible way"? It almost feels like the video is trolling us.

that's the joke. They are making fun of their own text-based interface to sell the visual side.

Thanks, that was the part I didn't get.
