Many users start with BIAB for project creation and song structure then want to export the project to RB to use it's expanded capabilities. However they are hindered by the two programs not sharing common locations for shared commands. This inhibits many users from trying RB, or for those that do try it, from easily realizing the full potential of RB.
The new GUIs are a great start to consolidating use of the two programs. I realize the two programs each have unique capabilities so complete consolidation might be impossible or desirable but it would be nice to be able to learn how to use one program and to be able to apply that knowledge to using the second program.

Please no.
Unless they change BB to be more like RB. Some BB functions seem unintuitive to me, whereas RB seems more intuitive. I have a feeling if they changed this it would go the other way.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I have not explored RealBand and BIAB enough to know which of the two programs have the more intuitive command set but I respect and value rharv's expertise using both programs.
So I'm modifying my initial request. I'd like for commands shared between the two programs to have menu locations similiar to RealBand.

RealBand is definitely more intuitive, and that's understandable, as it came along largely after the game plan had been formed, whereas BiaB has undergone continuous development, including add-ons, additional features and more, right since day one. It's got features now that just weren't even thought of, invented or available when its development started.
As a result, some of the things bolted into BiaB are in locations that might seem a little strange, but where else would they put them?
If anything happens, RealBand has to be the benchmark. +1

If you mean the BUTTON locations - then +1 on that. Ian

Click 'Options-Preferences' in each program and look at the result. (Opts-Preferences in BiaB)
When BB opens the Preferences window I tend to need to regroup, put my glasses on and start 'splunking' through it.
RB has tabs that make the whole process much easier. I know the number of available options is much different, but seeing 29 different buttons at once in BB is a bit much. That's not including the 'OK, Cancel and Help' buttons. Add those in and you're up to 30 buttons in one window .. plus 16 check boxes and 2 text boxes.
By the time I am out this window I'm thinking 'how did the song go again?'

I agree, Real Band is more intuitive and should be the layout / format reference.
