      What’s wrong with the 90s UX? It lets you do your work without being intrusive or annoying, so what’s wrong with it?

        Sorry but a word processor that doesn’t trigger a 9 second laggy animation with every button press is just simply unusable

          So, the problem is that people doesn’t have a working memory anymore, is that so?

              But people in the 90s were doing their work just fine, with that same UX paradigm. What’s the difference now?

              Just to be clear, I’m not saying that software’s UI and UX doesn’t need to evolve. But it bothers me that a perfectly usable UI gets criticized only because it’s “old” and doesn’t look “modern” (tf is a “modern UI”, btw?).

      You can make it look however you want.

      For me I’ve been using it for a long while now so the default layout feels right.

      Instead of thinking of the 90s UI as dated market it as retro and watch hipsters laud it for its classic feel.

      Also, there are 7 different UI options to choose from. Maybe try those out and find one that fits you.
