Every time I get a new version of Photoshop I say these very words, Jeremy. ;o)

I used to use the term "interface equity" when referring to Adobe products. (Even the Adobe team picked up on the phrase and began using it themselves.) But I stopped using it and I notice they no longer do either as there is no longer any user interface equity, not when menus change, functions change and the short-cuts along with them, and you have to relearn your interface all over again.

Learning new interfaces sucks. But I for one will be learning a new one when it comes to Smoke. (Ever since I stood at SIGGRAPH 1995 and watched Discreet's heavy iron in action for a couple of hours, repeatedly picking my jaw up off the floor as I watched, I have been a fan. Though I was a fan from a distance because as I recall the cheapest system they sold was over $250,000 at the time.)
