Why is UI design backsliding?
Why did UI's turn from practical to form over function?
E.g. Office 2003 vs Microsoft 365
It's easy to remember where everything is with a toolbar and menu bar, which allows access to any option in one click and hold move.
Seriously? Big ribbon and massive padding wasting space, as well as the ribbon being clunky to use.
Why did this happen?

It's about a dofferent piece of software, but still highly relevant.
30 seconds in and subbed because "man rants about DAW UI/UX" is a genre of video that I never knew existed but suddenly can't live without.
Funniest thing is, this video series ultimately landed him the job as lead UX designer for Musescore, lol
That's actually amazing! Maybe I should start ranting about stuff that annoys me in software I love. Wouldn't mind being lead dev on something I'm an active user of.
