We are "technologists" and love technology. We love to argue about new features, shortcuts, new file formats etc. Artists want the tools out of the way, they are thinking about art and the end result. They will use a 50-year-old computer if they are productive at it and gets them the results they want quickly. In fact, doesn't George R R Martin use Wordstar for DOS or something like that? People who actually use software to get work done tend to hate changes. A UI redesign means a lot of wasted time and lost money. A feature that goes away means that muscle memory is invalidated, generally for no measurable gain.
