They're also quite entertaining. Worth a watch even if you have just a passing interest in UI/UX design and no clue about music engraving.

- mirkules 6y agoI just watched the MuseScore video. I get that he’s trying to be entertaining, but he just comes off as a jerk to me. Doesn’t make him less correct of course, but do we really need a blood-vomiting Shostakovich or imagined email exchange making fun of “New All” (among other examples)? Honestly, it’s disappointing that this is the default way to criticize someone’s work, however bad it may be. Imagine if your users, teachers or even parents critiqued your work in this way.

- monadgonad 6y agoI'm willing to give it a pass because it's in good faith and he gives praise as well; it's not like an Angry Video Game Nerd-style rant. Also, this is a review for his YouTube audience more than it is criticism aimed at MuseScore's designers. I'm sure he wouldn't critique the work of his kids or students this way.
