Definitely agree with the non-native UI point. I've been using Photoshop for years on my Macbooks, and the interface has always had a clunky, slow, unnatural, and Flash-era feel to it. I wonder what the reasoning behind using this terrible UI vs Cocoa is?
- illicium 15y agoPortability. It would be very inconvenient to maintain two completely separate UI codebases.
- gramsey 15y agoYes, but shouldn't some portability be sacrificed? Google Chrome, for example, has the same interface on OS X and Windows, but is fast and has a native feel on both platforms.
- fredley 15y agoThere's a vast, vast gap in the complexity of Chrome's ui and Photoshop's. I maintain an app with a cross-platform ui (Mac/Windows/*nix), and it adds an enormous amount of time re-doing everything on different platforms, particularly Mac.
