Stuff like this makes me appreciate that most of the software I use manages to innovate without throwing out the UX every 6 months. I use Ableton Live and Reaper a lot. Both look more or less like they did at launch 20 and 15 years ago. You could follow a manual for the first version and only be a little lost with newer features since they all follow the same UX conventions. I had to crack open Google Analytics to grab the tag to paste into something. It took me 2 minutes to find it. WordPress is more or less the same if you go to /wp-admin/, but the infiltration of the new UX into it tells me that's on the way out.
