Layer effects, though? I'm still butthurt about when Blender introduced a node editor and confused me, I lost all my Blender expertise at that point. (The persistence of a vestigial old way of doing things only makes it worse, because of course I want to try to do everything without nodes, and then I don't have any guidance because all up-to-date docs and tutorials talk about nodes all the time. Nodes! Ruining everything!)
