As a designer a basic rule in my work is always "form follows function" (not very new, i know). With the new marketplace i have the feeling that it is the other way round. Here i think we have a lot of form in terms of structure and less function. Here is how i am normally buying things. I go through "What's New" and decide what i like. Especially because i use several applications and mostly can't decide beforehand what i want. But i know approximately what i want to spend. The result from my last buying was, that i, after browsing through the Poser section, forgot to switch over to Vue and finished my buying - and bought less than planed. Exactly what not should happen. Another basic thing is to go live when the beta test is over - again, not the other way round. Great to here that there are improvements every day, but they should have been done in a beta test state, not when it is already live. It confuses me and that means i prefer going somewhere else. Conclusion? I personally have not so much fun in browsing through the new marketplace anymore. With the result that i spend more money in other places. I think the general figures after a while will tell you this statistically as well. Maybe then you latest should talk to your web-designers again. BTW, i like the new look and feel and have absolutely no problem so far (Mac, Safari)- only some functions should be back to make me a happy camper.
