JOM,

You are correct on many points

1) maybe you think i'm a 'suck up'...lol. but this isnt true..all i'm trying to make people aware of is a developers perspective and how very difficult it is for a developer to keep a user base all over the world happy. thats all. No one can make everyone happy, and that should not stop change.

2) a good way to see if i'm correct in my observations re user groups is i'll throw out a challenge...
have a core group of pg users come up with a groovy new gui philosophy and approach the core group is happy with.
now invite comments from anyone who wants to chime in. and see if consensus can be reached with the wider pg user community. There will always be someone coming out of the wood work to complain.

3) in industry we often found compartmenting apps easier to deal with. PGM could make BiaB as the main app with Realband features with the Standalone modern look(dark mode but good contrast for people that have bad eye sight). and as you said, make a switch for users to use the new Biab or not. As for size, Well BiaB is already BIG
