I know everyone complains about UI. I'm telling y'all to get the fuck over it.

My point isn't you have to adapt to technology as well as someone who lives and breathes it, my point is in comparison, moving around some icons and context menus isn't that fucking big a change. Especially considering its said people who are making the tools for you.

Its a small fucking ask. Hell, If massive tech companies hadn't spent the last 15 years weaponizing the lie that computers = convinience, mixed with the computer-illiteracy of the average smart phone user, to normalize corporate malware, it probably wouldn't be so bad.

Before that, it was mostly just the older people and less saavy users who complained UI changes, and in those days GIMPs featureset was still a joke compared to PS.

I mean I can kinda get it when companies develop desktop software that looks like an iPad app for hand-holding reasons (see the bit above about weaponizing computer illiteracy), but fuck me, you should be able to re-learn professional software that your job/hobby depends on.
