I would care to know if anything is going to be done about the disgusting maya UI, its so bloated and unwieldy everywhere i go, people actually need 2 screens to work, and i don't just mean, one screen for animation curves, you need a second screen simply to display the bloody selection tools, less your single view port shrink to the size of a postage stamp. I'm seeing a lot of new features and very few elegant means to access them. why is NEX still some kind of ill integrated appendage? why aren't it's ui smart element selection highlights a standard ? this leaves us with 2 different ill matched workflows. they're are several manipulation that will accidentally take you out off NEX
Function vs fluidity has always been a massive problem within maya, the amount of view port ergonomics the amount of clicks/Keys it takes to get you somewhere. the amount of breaks in a workflow. Consider this like yet another feature to port, cause it clearly is not there now.
