Framers - Glad this topic has come up.
A few months back we were invited to offer opinions to one of the engineers involved with UI design.
we had a 90 minute call; I came prepared with a long list generated after only a short stint with FM11 -- my list had most of the same complaints voiced in this thread, and even a few more.
Not sure how much I am able to reveal about that call (and there were some surprises in the conversation on both sides), but the point is that Adobe seems to have a genuine interest in getting this right, though I don't know how much momentum might be behind the UI as it now stands.
I tried to cover that too and suggested more user configuration options for the look and feel if the "standard" UI didn't work for people. (There are some good starts in that direction, but they do need to be filled out.)
I also suggested a little closer look at complaints about look/feel issues during beta cycles, as many of these issues had been brought up by beta testers.
Adobe does monitor this list, so perhaps seeing common expressions about the same issues adds weight. Now, that doesn't mean a "pile on;" I think/hope they've gotten the message. But if you do have something not already noted in this thread, perhaps express it briefly, tell why it's a problem and what would make it better.
