Hi BlackBird,

> I never expect that you could be this "harsh".

Well it's in an area that I find particularly irritating - I don't like it when I see poorly designed UX being praised. And especially when it is being marketed as good UX.

Cultivating it is part art and part science and is ephemeral in many ways. It can be lost simply by adding in too many features.

When it is present it's easy to undervalue or not recognize at all because it doesn't draw attention to itself.

So imagine if this is an area that you have concentrated on honing continuously for 20 years of craftsmanship and then someone comes in completely oblivious to it and thinks that it's all about the icons...

- Michael

hey Michael,

i dont get the point with the icons... did someone told that moi is userfriendly because of the icons?
Can you explain what you mean with this?

I like to work with shortcuts. At the begining its useful to have icons. But in general i dont care that much. (maybe iam to much "cripled" by blender ;-))
My favorite feature in Moi is the SNAPPING / ConstructionLines. I never see a snapping that intuitive and useful like in Moi. I think this is a important reason for me to use Moi.
The consruction lines. they dissapear after using. But you can keep them if you like (shortcut-script). The center snapping and all this ist realy good. no other program that i know is that good.
This "smart snapping" like in rhino or in plasticity is not really controlable... i like to draw my C-lines manually.
If Moi would support different linetypes in the styles, i would use it for 2D-Drawing also. Now i have to use QCad Pro if i like to have drawings from my MOI-models.

And maybe you should add all this script-features somewhere. So the user can easy activate them. Or a database (online) where all the scripts are stored to easy add them to Moi.
I know there is one Website. But its not that convenience.

It's that for some people having the icons styled in the latest fashion trend is the top priority for the UI instead of focusing on how it actually functions.
