I had no issues with the style before ribbons.

Best way I can put it is by comparing the CAD programs I use. Go look up screenshots of Autocad2023 versus Rhino7. I prefer Rhino7, and it’s everything to do with how tools are organized, nothing to do with the massive color differences, or command prompt location. Of course, both are highly customizable.

I also really like Photoshop’s layout, and Blender in theory, bit not in practice (idk why, maybe just too many things overall everywhere).

I concede the issue here is that I use programs that are very visual based, so when I switch to primarily text programs, the lack of real-estate is very frustrating. I doubt that I am alone in this however, the overall population is admittedly increasingly visual.
