This also applies to software. "we've clean up our UI and stuffed every tool you use every day into menus and submenus! Now all your favourite tools are 1-2 extra clicks away. But look at all this white space!"

Most recent ofender was JIRA.

And then there is Blender.

'How do I do...'
'Keyboard Shortcut'
'Okay and how d...'
'Keyboard Shortcut'
'And how...'
'KEYBOARD SHORTCUT'.

You'd think that with such heavy reliance on shortcuts the UI would be sleek, but nuh uh, it's an absolute mess.

'How do I access this view?'
'You just grab this random window boarder and drag it to out, wtf?'

I find blender to be much more sleek, orderly and quicker to use than 3dsmax.

These old school apps usually also have fervent user bases that flip out if anyone tries to modernise things. God forbid we make things more accessible to newcomers.
