"Work flow" is a good term.  As a professional software developer I have
always thought software, or any tool, should make the user's job easier.
Customers will always use the tool different from my own preferred workflow,
so flexibility to meet their needs is a good goal.

The key word is "should".  In the hardcopy version of the concordance the
number is the only way to get from the English word to the original word in
its corresponding dictionary.  I use a mixture of software and hardcopy in
my studies, so having the Strongs numbers on the printed page (copy the html
to a document I create then print) is still useful.
