Adobe to Unclutter Photoshop UI

spotplace writes "It's not common to see a company blast their own product for failing to adapt to times and people's necessities, unless they're trying to give you a reason to buy the latest and greatest of said product. That's exactly what Adobe has done. John Nack, senior product manager at Adobe, says the old Photoshop interface doesn't cut it anymore: "I sometimes joke that looking at some parts of the app is like counting the rings in a tree: you can gauge when certain features arrived by the dimensions & style of the dialog. No one wants to work with — or work on — some shambling, bloated monster of a program.""

    3ds MAX comes to mind.

    I'm talking to you, AutoDesk.  Your competitors are getting better and better, and with more modern interfaces.  It's not your fault your the oldest--but it is your problem.  Pick the best of your competitor's interfaces, and steal it.

    Feel free to contact me to do this for you.  I gaurantee that with your functionality and a modern interface, you will be unchallenged again for another ten years.
