I will freely admit that Truespace is an acquired taste. As for myself, what I've done is customized the GUI so much that it now looks very much like any standard Windows application. I've got the menus on the top, the tools on the side, I've set up the keyboard with a bunch of shortcuts, and I use the 4-window configuration available in version 5. I completely stay away from the wacky stuff like the 3D widgets. I still had to memorize what each of the icons did, but once that happened, the program became very easy to use. -SMT

I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!
