The problem with Bbg is not that it needs a UI makeover. As mentioned below, we want function over form. There is a learning curve, but the payoff in the long run is huge. What Bloomberg desperately needs is UX consistency.
For example, my biggest and simplest gripe: all sorts of different charting commands have wildly different interactions. Different color palette selection. Incompatible axis selection. Sometimes you can't do either. It means that it's impossible to make something from ECWB look like one of your standard G templates, which sucks. Also, Launchpad needs much better integration. It's a mess.
TL;DR - The UI is fine. The UX needs consistency.
