What is the worst ui you ever experienced?
Jdownloader
>>54774151
This shit
I don't even consider this piece of shit to be usable because of it's atrocious UI.
MS Office
ZBrush's UI is fine. The problem is that retards try to use it with a mouse and keyboard and fail miserably.
It's designed to be used with a fuckin' drawing tablet.
>>54774200
Blender's UI is just genuinely awful by default. Since the vast majority of people just stick with the defaults, it's a massive problem.
>>54774212
It's just like Photoshop... a shittier version but still perfectly usable
>>54774200
>>54774212

Gimp's UI is actually good if you get used to it. I'm used to it. :>
Libre office.
Seriously.
>Menu>menu>menu>menu>obtuse function name>incomprehensible window
The ribbon in office and explorer etc. Is actually really handy. Inb4 butthurt.
>>54774200
I actually work quite well with it.
Every 3D program I've tried so far was an absolute mess at first.
>>54774151
Worst UI for me was Libre office on a high DPI screen.
It was just a mess of wrongly aligned buttons.

>>54775916

How is libreoffice shitty? Because they didn't implement the cancerous ribbon?
>>54775959
Krita is pretty good.
Basically all FOSS has terrible a terrible UI. It's probably why a lot of them are either ripoffs of proprietary software or command line utilities.
>>54775996
>hating on ribbon interface
man these are some vintage memes you got going here. Blind navigation through the menubar for everything is so much better right
>>54775996
yes and because it fucks up formatting on documents

Not necessarily all of it, ubuntu is pretty easy to use, so is chromium and vlc, and firefox.
>>54776010
>>54775959
>>54775996
The sidebar makes LibreOffice 5 really good.
>>54775996
How is the ribbon bad? It combines two things that serve basically the same purpose into one thing. I don't particularly like that it's twice as large as the menubar and toolbar but it makes a lot more sense and that extra space allows them to avoid spawning additional windows for stuff like inserting shapes and clipart

Microsoft has steadily moved away from alphabetical, text based menus to purely visual menus. The windows 8 and 10 start menus were items like "photos" aren't even consistent in appearance and the very generic seeming coloured boxes make everything worse.
Microsoft thinks we're all illiterate but still wants our money.
>>54776151
Nice shill mentality.
>>54774200
Blender's UI is intimidating, but not bad by any means
>>54776058
I remember initially hating the ribbon, and now the only thing I really like about it is the context-sensitive menus that appear based on what you are doing. That is a very good idea.
Ideally, I would like something with menus across 75% of the top of the screen at the top left (like Office 2003 progs) and then 25% context-sensitive dynamic menus at the top right. It'd be the best of both and save a lot of screen space.
File, Edit, View, ..., Help are static menus, and then to the right of Help, all the things can change around.

If you're using the UI at all in blender you're doing it wrong. Use keyboard.

This desu. "Not like everyone else" doesn't mean bad. Blender's UI is great once you learn it.
>>54774151
Any WIMP GUI. What good is it that it's "easy to learn" when you can't ever reach productivity with it?
>>54776032
I don't really disagree with a lot of his points, especially as they apply to shit like Paint, that implementation is god awful and serves no real purpose.
But as he mentioned, however, it's a little different for Office.
My usual toolbar setup in Office 2000 and 97 can get very cluttered, while it packs more features into the space than the Ribbon ever will, that's not necessarily a good thing. Lots of small buttons with no text labels and shitty icons that don't accurately describe the action, tooltips take just as long to appear (if ever)
And while people bitch about the loss of menus, I don't find it that much more impeding to what I do when I go between 97 and 2016, you can cry "dumb" all you want but having bigger, attention-getting icons can be a pretty convenient way to draw your eyes to infrequently used features better than memorizing documentation.
>>54776046
That's absolutely horrifying, look at all that wasted space. There was a reason Office didn't ship like that by default.
And having the document off-center like that feels just... unnatural.
>>54775179
I always assumed it was one of those attempts to unify laptop and tablet. While they fail and keep failing, I think the ambition is understandable.
>>54780407
What's wrong with this one?
I once worked on a software for 3d room planning. The boss of that firm had no background in programming at all, but he was the one choosing who would work for him. As a result, the code was the most horrible thing ice ever seen in my life (and I've seen a grandma being mashed by a car). The UI of that software was incredibly atrocious, only beaten by how horrible it was to use. It would literally crash as soon as you click somewhere, the boss hadn't planned the interaction design for (and he was horrible at that too). So clicking on a button a number of times would do something else than kicking it once (no description, just an icon on it)

>>54774517

I would probably make it so instead of listing all the options you can do you click to add one of them (e.g. the "Remove" one) and then you have a list of transformations that you've done that you can edit or remove stuff from. That way all the stuff you don't care about isn't just there creating noise.

They were pretty useful if you wanted to get that sequenced feel quickly. Just click one button, drag the mouse at random, done. Now you have to fiddle with thin bars and you can't see shit at a glance.
Plus you had the "Shift" option to try out different swing patterns on a groove you've already had going.

I'll probably be one of the guards to be quite honest. And why wouldn't I thrive in it? I was raised in a "socialist" country.

No manufacturer should be punished for the stupidity of the user base.
You rooted your phone. You put some trojan OS on it. And now your device is dead and all your bank accounts are ransomwared.
Tough luck. You're an idiot.

Dumbfuck, it's literally write "gtk-can-change-accels = 1" (or whatever the new equivalent is in modern gcuck3) in a single config file and then hover over two buttons and press b and p. In Xfce you don't even need to edit shit, you literally tick a single box in the Appearance settings GUI menu. You fucking dumbfuck.
