- Y-bar 6y agoThis reply is concerning, I hope you can improve on the current state of v4 more than making usability "an option". Edit: I should expand. I was not too worried after reading the article, things would improve I was certain of. But this reply, upon given a straight-up question on specific usability and accessibility concerns fails fully to give a proper answer.

As someone who helps the elderly with their computers, I can only tell you that changing the UI ought to be done only if you have a very, very good reason, and it should be gradual.
- jbk 6y ago> "Accessible" should be the default, not an option. The file menu being present should be the default, not an option. This is your opinion. Weirdly, all the other programs are doing it differently. So maybe, your opinion is the minority, not the majority.
- joveian 6y agoI mostly use mpv that has this behavior and it can be annoying how often an accidental mouse movement causes the controls to appear. I suspect extremely few people, if any, will have trouble finding the controls. When it comes to video in particular, always-visible controls seem much more distracting than useful.
