People on this site always comment negatively on literally anything related to UI except if it looks like it was made in the 90s. Absolutely zero sense of perspective or open-mindedness.
- IncRnd 6y agoThat's an indication that change for change's sake is neither needed nor desired.
- rurp 6y agoI don't think this is a very charitable take. Many people, myself included, consider change for the sake of change a cost, not a benefit. The less I think about my keyboard layout or system UI widgets the better. I can see why someone might like the novelty of those changing but for me they are just a means to an end. Any time I spend hunting around menus that have changed or fiddling with a novel keyboard means less time for things that I actually care about.
- saiojd 6y agoI'll concede that it's not charitable but if anything I think UI needs to change more, and in ways which aren't superficial like switching icons. Compare this to Mac OS 9, is it really that different? Have we really not figured out anything better? For instance, we should not have to search through menus to find what we want. Every app should support something like Blender's operator search (like the Help > Search feature but generalized to every command, not just the menu bar). Instead of discussing stuff that matter people complain about the appearance of things.
