[QUOTE="kronovan, post: 9797070, member: 6775134"] Hearing this always makes me curious and I have to ask, what aspect of the inteface? I've certainly had players that didn't care for it overall, but that dislike at times seemed generational. I had one player say they thought it "didn't look like an up to date app." A number of my Millennial and GenZ players feel it's poor because it didn't have the features of a modern web app - OK? Whereas I and some of my baby boomer and GenX players, who pleasantly discovered the vertical tool pallete/toolbox in MAC, then Amiga and eventually Windows apps, tend to see it as visually good and easy to grasp. I've also had some of my younger players find the right-click menus clumsy and confusing, which always brings up a "are you kidding" from me. Mostly because I still remember their debut (was that Win 3.1 or 95) and back then blissfully right-clicking to my hearts content - never have grown tired of them. I do think SW's recent move from icons to descriptive text on right-click menus to be a good interface development. If on the other hand, you're referring to the image editing tools - for sure, that's a part of the interface I don't find particularly functional. I've been using mapping, CAD and other graphics software for decades and some of the image tools like Paint and Ligthing seem very uncoventional to me, but not in a good way - if that makes sense.
