This is just you saying over and over that its bad.

To be more precise by default in the pane wherein is displayed the details of the currently selected book when you change the selected book there is a fraction of a second it goes through an animated transition.
A bad UI is one in which common tasks are unpleasant, confusing, or hard to accomplish. Not liking an animation appears to be an aesthetic judgement as is the notion that its interface is "dated".
Can you explain what is actually bad about calibre precisely?
