Don't be daft.
The reason the new UI is so hated is because it not just comes across as a simple process, but because it
is simplified and that it has long a whole lot of power through that simplification. It no longer supports a large swath of use cases and it makes a different large set of use cases much more cumbersome and slow than before.
It has nothing to do with guidance or laziness GÇö it has to do with a loss of functionality. Of course, there are plenty of idiots who never managed to get their heads around the old system so they are ignorant of this loss and thus think that things have improved. The simple fact remains:
The new system does not properly support multiple windows.
The new system does not properly support complex collection of inventories.
The new system does not properly support old inventory management shortcuts
that are still in the game.
The new system does not let you set up a consistent work space.
The new system does not offer any context sensitivity.
The new system does not offer any control over what opens where.
GǪand I haven't even begun to touch on the multitude of bugs that make all of these issues even worse and render any attempt at finding work-arounds meaningless.
So no, the problem is almost exactly the opposite of what you say: it's not the complexity that is the problem and that is making people angry GÇö it's the
loss of complex functionality, and this anger is then increased by people who are were too lazy to figure out how the old system work and who come along and ignorantly claim that it has anything to do with GÇ£learningGÇ¥. Learning the new system will not make it suddenly regenerate the complex functionality that has been lost. Learning the new system will not suddenly make the daft simplifications go away.
