   We’re all here making fresh designs and Photoshop just casually has a UI that’s unchanged for a quarter of a century.

     @sdw The UI on the left actually looks better.

     @Gargron @sdw Agreed. I've always preferred apps that stick to the OS appearance.

     I think there's something to be said for long-term UI patterns. I've been using Affinity a lot, and much of the confusion I'm having comes from (1) UIs that are similar to Photoshop's but do different things, or (2) UIs that are different from Photoshop but do the same thing.

     The fundamentals of desktop GUIs—windows, File/Edit menus—haven't changed in close to 40 years.
