The one thing I don't necessarily understand (but I'm a hobbyist, so
that may be it :D),
is why heavy customization of interface, hotkeys and such, like in the
hypothetical case of Maya with a distinct Softimage look feel, would
be so bad.
As a way to make new software more appealing to learn,
ON the one hand that would be nice. BUT
the things is that Maya do some things too differently and SO ugly so
having just a mask over it wouldn't be enough when Maya shows its ugly
workflow face...
So maybe it is better to stare at the face of the monster so you are aware

As soon as one understands that Raff likes coming up with—sometimes
incorrect—arguments only for the fun of proving someone wrong and that he
will always have the last word, we're good :)

Reskinning the menus vertically without changing command names or wrapping the
commands, or moving the existing snapping options to two rows
I'm interested to know how using this XSI-like UI plugin would help.
I can understand for the MCP-like panel, it might not be obvious to
know where the similar options are located (though they not even
exist). But I'm skeptical about the Module menus

I'm sorry you feel that way, but articulating a point in the face of
someone's blunt dismissal might not necessarily be meant to prove you wrong.
Maya's UI in term of aggregation has grown dysfunctional, the fact
practically nobody around me uses it through the menus anymore, but rather

I'll leave it to others to decide which stage this is at...
