Hey, defend the indefensible all you want, no skin off my nose.

No, sorry, having all those finger joints in the menu is not a matter of taste.  It sucks.  Period.

No, sorry, having to go all the way to the top bar to lock a body part is not a matter of taste.  It sucks, period.  Not having a way to quickly lock multiple body parts sucks too.  How hard would it be to make a tool or a menu or a window where the user could quickly toggle parts locked and unlocked?

Most of that goes for visibility too.

No, sorry, having those stupid color dots on the main pane where it's easy to inadvertantly change colors is not a matter of taste.  It sucks, period.

No, sorry, not having a way to scale a hand and all fingers simultaneously is not a matter of taste, it sucks, period.

Having all that wasted space on the borders of the main window pane, space that could hold any number of buttons or drop-downs, is not a matter of taste.  It sucks, period.

Having to go through the same process of closing figure hierarchies each time you want to set a figure or prop parent isn't a matter of taste.  it sucks, period.  It sucks even more that I can't scroll those hierarchy windows with the mousewheel.

Having right-clicking on an object or part in a scene do nothing is not a matter of taste.  It sucks, period.

I can go on for a while like this.

The mirror commands ask you if you want to copy joint params EACH TIME you use them. I wish they had at least 2 separate mirror commands: copy with joint params and without.
In several cases the UI seems designed to slow you down.

Yeah.  How much time would they have saved all their users by adding something in preferences we can check to select our defaults and decide whether we want to be asked the same questions over and over in these dialogs? (though I guess my preference would be just one save dialog box with checkboxes for all the questions)

Let's face it. When P7 comes out, regardless of what it can do,  people will still be churning endless V3 (V4) semi-nudes in seductive poses, with nothing to say other than "Look at the pretty picture I made". The program is not the problem here, neither is tallent, just imagination.

What irrelevant nonsense.

As for the orignal post, It took me awhile to get used to the UI, but it works fine for me and like some others, would hate to have to learn a new one. That is what turned me off to hexagon. I am used to 3DSmax and the interface in hexagon, was confusing at best.

I'm not after change for its own sake, I'm after LOTS of SIMPLE improvements.  I guess my OP didn't really say that...
