why they don't do this and that? maybe one reason is that they have limited resources. a lot of areas still need some polishing and they know it but overall the new gui already is much better than the old one. i really like it. once there are some stable releases they probably also will start to experiment with new gui ideas again.



i don't think there are too many menus. icon overkill can be very confusing too. icons often are harder to read than text. it could be a bit more like modo though which uses both in good doses.

one thing i don't like is that header borders can be dragged. i often accidentally drag them instead of screen borders.

what i really like a lot is the new animation system. it's much easier to use than the old one.
