comment How can I improve the perceived performance of a desktop application?
"No animation will make something 'perceivably' faster." - This isn't entirely true. Loading animations (even indeterminate ones) show that something is loading. Without them the user will often assume the app has hung, is extremely slow, or perhaps, doubting themselves, they'll just press the button again.

comment Solving the “accidental confirm” problem with dialog boxes
@Bevan - That's a good point. Of course if the screen dims and a dialog box comes up, it may still grab their attention from their peripheral vision. But still, I suppose you could consider not setting the focus on any button at all.

comment How important is feedback?
Good answer. A feedback form is useful of course, but will only get you so far. So in addition to that I'd also conduct proper usability testing. That will reveal deeper insights into problems you never knew you had. Steve Krug has a good example video of a short usability testing session here... sensible.com

comment Why can't you update options in shopping carts?
Agreed. And plenty of websites have been built with completely custom shopping carts and have the freedom to add more advanced features like this. All it takes is a little time and effort.
