Hello mkdm,

I don't think McNeel will change how Rhino works, although I think they could without alienating their customer base. The lack of change is many times driven by fear, perhaps McNeel is more afraid of the change than their customers.

I don't code, I work alongside great devs to make the features usable to the users. I do the same with physical products, that's what's great about UX, it has a practical application with just about any item you'll come across.
