  All our employees are using Zulip. The UI is usable.

  > the UI is not something you could recommend to a non-technical user.. +1 This is Zulip biggest downfall. I’ve participated over the past 2 years in chat.zulip.org activately advocating for better UI design, even multiple times mocking up what an improved UI would look like and there’s so much stubborness to change it frustrating. I’ve come to the conclusion that nothing more than small tweaks will every change regarding the UI, which is unfortunate.

    They're currently in the middle of a large redesign project, as can be seen here: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues?q=label%3Aredesign+sort%3Aupdated-desc https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues?q=label%3Aredesign+sor... https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/101-design https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/101-design At the second link, you can click on `more topics` under #design and filter for `ui redesign` to see some of the topics about that.

      I’m fully aware. But the changes still don’t address the core problem which is that the UI looks like something from the 1990s. I’m not meaning to hate in it. I actually love Zulip which is why I spent the time and effort mocking up ways to improve it. But the core developers don’t like change.
