Category: Best Designed Interface in a Graphical App

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the it-works-so-smart dept.

Have you found a graphical program that you picked up with ease? Or is there a program that looks smart, but more importantly has an interface that lets you get work done? Hint: There's another category for non-graphical applications, so nominating the CLI doesn't count. (And please don't nominate that annonying paper clip.)

  1. Sketch! by volsung · · Score: 2

    I found myself rapidly nearing a deadline on one of my assignments, and needed diagrams! [Insert ominous music here] I'd used xfig before, but it is about as user-friendly as the cockpit of a 747. So I downloaded Sketch (a vector based drawing program), and learned how to use it and finished my drawings in less time than it would have taken in xfig.

    It's pretty, intuitive, and it does everything, and does it well. Nuff said.

  3. SONIQUE or VERITAS VOLUME MANAGER by AtariDatacenter · · Score: 2

    I'm torn here. Sonique (www.sonique.com) has got the most awesome interface. Its interface breaks the common desktop mold, it is eye candy, intuitive, and useful. I wish all programs had a wicked interface like this one.

    On the useful application side, I have to give a hands down to Veritas Volume Manager (X version). Make and break mirrors, migrate data between disks, consolidate disk space -- all with a wave and a click of the mouse. This interface makes management of a large number of disks into something very managable.

    It's old, but it still rules.

    Try it out. The interface is really good.
