The damn thing was written by a couple of College Students who had no experience with graphic arts and man does it show. The UI has been the number #1 complaint since the 1.0 release back in 1998; how it's never been updated / overhauled is simply beyond me.

It looks good to me...

Why? Looks basically the same as photoshop, which everybody seems to love.

Among other things:

  • monochrome color scheme prevents easy recognition of tools
  • dozens and dozens of arcane options listed alongside super basic options
  • weird sizing of buttons
  • no help search, and no search that can associate synonyms where users don't know what term to search for
  • no inbuilt suggestions when user behaves strangely (eg. user is spamming the escape key, searching "deselect", maybe suggest the deselect all hotkey?)

You can change the icon theme in the settings to a color one. That's what I always do. The scaling can be changed as well.

May I ask what are some of the arcane options supposed to be?

How do you change scaling of buttons?

what are some of the arcane options supposed to be?

Not at PC for a few days but IIRC I was overwhelmed whenever going through any drop down menu.

Newer versions of Photoshop have like 8 buttons and a toolbar which is terrible imo.
