I've just completed Andrew Price's superb discussion of Blender's UI (User Interface).
I highly recommend that all of Leo's core developers view them, and that you *watch them in order*. Andrew's videos are worth *careful* study. I've made copious notes which I'll share with you later. Part 1: (32 minutes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIedljapuz0 Part 2: (32 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_2106536565&feature=iv&src_vid=UWacQrEcMHk&v=yIedljapuz0 Part 3: (The proposal, 19 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWacQrEcMHk Part 4: (Retrospective of proposal, 28 minutes main presentation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aIA2LaB2Iw The main points I took away: 1. Leo is *much* simpler than Blender. 2. Leo's ui isn't all that bad, especially compared with Emacs and vim. 3. There is a giant hole in Leo's ui that obscures points 1 and 2 and make Leo much harder for newbies to use than it should be. There is no way (just from the user interface) for a newbie to know how to: a) Create an external file (!!!) or b) Import external files into Leo (!) This hole seems more serious than the broken find tab. Happily, there are *easy* fixes for it. I've got to go now. I'll discuss the video, the problems and their solutions in much more detail later.
