I don’t get the extreme hate around here for new UI. I turned it on just to see and felt nothing really changed. Maybe it’s because I almost exclusively use keyboard shortcuts? I can already feel the angry replies being smashed into keyboards…
- devmor 3y ago> Maybe it’s because I almost exclusively use keyboard shortcuts? That's a reasonable suspicion, since my biggest gripe with the new UI is how it hides clear, text-based menus and labels behind more confusing icons.
- corytheboyd 3y agoWas there something in particular that you used often that was moved behind a confusing icon? I don’t really find myself digging through these menus often, instead using the action search for things I don’t know/map the keyboard shortcut to.
- devmor 3y agoYes, I genuinely just use the menus for anything I don't use often enough to map a keyboard shortcut to. I find search dialogues to be annoying and counter to building intuitive memory for using an application. They're a "last resort" to me when the UI of a program is poorly made.
- corytheboyd 3y agoMakes sense! Don’t mean to do that annoying internet thing where I am saying you are wrong and I am right, just curious to hear more specifics about it, thanks!
- devmor 3y agoNah I get you. I think it’s just a personal mind difference thing. Some people intuit functionality verbally and I imagine that the action search is probably preferable to them. I tend to intuit functionality physically so I am often annoyed by layout changes.
