Simply put, the program is a mess. It's incredibly good at what it does and can do, unfortunately doing anything is usually a chore. It is the most non-intuitive, uninspiring difficult piece of software I have ever come across.

I'm not here to slag it off, I genuinly would love to see the clutter sorted out. I would love to do more with it but frankly can rarely be bothered. Any time I want to try out something new or experiment with something which I think is 'probably' possible, by the time I've trawled through countless videos and help files I'm generally none the wiser and my enthusiasm / inspiration has gone and been forgotten.
This is the only software I have ever used where I even have to resort to help files, the bulk of most other brands of software can usually be figured out quickly and easily with a little bit of playing around.

This IMO is this real problem with the software and I guess what most others are talking about with the GUI.

I don't care that it looks like an old 3.1 interface, I don't care that it's not shiney and animated, I just care about the unnecessary mess. This is nothing that needs a major rewrite, just a company that listens to it's customers and asks them for specifics that need addressing. Most of it could be implemented in a simple update.

There are menus all over the place, everything is vague and utterly non-descript. I need quicker, easier access to regularly used functions with a basic right click or toolbar button, not nested so deep in dialogue boxes and sub menus that I never remember how to get back to them.

There are way too many places to get to a function. The same menus pop up time and again in different parts of the program. It's all unnecessary. get rid of the clutter and start again.
2015 has actually gone backwards in this regard. For example, I click the soloist button only to be given a choice that I can get from many other areas. It's pointless. The whole point of a toolbar button is to take you immediately to another function, not further nesting. Everything I do, everything I click, I wonder what the hell is going on.

If PG want to listen then I'd give specifics, as I'm sure would most everyone else. Not asking for new functionality or features, just clean up the mess that has been accumalating since the first version. There are a lot of functions that could and should be improved / implemented much better but begin with a clean up.

That's my 2 cents worth smile
