Re A NEW FLEXIBLE GUI FOR BB....(AND RB ??.)

its a lovely idea being discussed for bb ...particularly if any user can flexibily configure the gui to their liking.
i would like that.

but i suggest in any final gui decision by pg the following be taken account.

1..over the years many new users to pg products useing both bb and rb often are confused as there is some overlap of features in both bband rb. as well as ...
2..for example the layout of bb tracks view is somewhat different from rb tracks view.
and there are various other layout differences.

in summary my concern is if for example a new user to pg asks his or herself things like 'why are the track views different' ?
if one thinks about it i would suggest its a obvious question a new user might ask getting into pg products who might not know at that point the sometimes subtle differences between bb and rb.
over the years ive seen more than a few new users confused by this.

in summary i would suggest in order to cut down the learning cycle for new users that once pg have a new gui firmed up re flexibility as to config by any user that, as far as possible the same flexible gui layout be implemented for rb.

for example can chord/track/piano roll/mixer and other views layouts be made the same as far as possible as to configurability in a flexible fashion.?
benefits being twofold for new users..

1..cutting down confusion and..
2..boosting the productivity of the new user and cutting down on the learning cycle.

one situation that i'm sure will occur many times in the future (as in the past) will be the scenario whereby a new user starts off in bb and understanding it and who that on seeing the rb forum and users posts re rb might decide to then explore how rb might benefit them.
THUS...it would be nice if a new user haveing become familiar with bb THEN could become familiar fast in rb because of graphic similarities.
thus minimising learning cycle frustration ??

just an idea and i hope i make some sense.
