(note i was in IT/tech also....too darn long...lol.)
there are many users that feel the same way as you...myself included.
however one problem for pg i think is the old IT managers problem...and ive seen it many times in industry whereby various users that have got used to an apps menus and 'look' are a tad resistant to change as they have got used to doing things a certain way.

once in industry i was put in charge of a massive legacy system (read old app with too many 'bolt ons')..and was fought tooth and nail by some members of the user base as to change.
in summary its a conundrum for a developer how to keep everybody happy.

what i do with young people getting into doing music production who dont like the 'look' of biab is to show them what RESULTS they can get with it.
i find less resistance that way....and they go 'WOWSER' !

frankly i dont know a good solution cos someone somewhere is gonna always get teed off is my experience.

btw if youve never done it...look at realband (rb).
same deal a tad 'quirky' on the surface but choc full of features and many unique ones i havent seen in any other daw haveing recently tested lots of
free right up to expensive music apps that often had lots of 'flash' i guess to attract new users...but in the end i end back with rb because it has various unique features.
(note ive been asking for more 'flash' in rb also but as you know as an IT person adding lots of 'flash' can also bloat up an app often...its a catch 22.)

happiness.
