[Michael Aranyshev] "Guess what? Dial your patronizing tone down a bit, Walter. There used to be times companies actually researched what works in a GUI and what doesn't and they came up with some pretty objective criteria. The GUI of any current grading software doesn't make sense because it breaks too many rules. Not because it is targeted only to the most enlightened ones."
The GUI for color enhancement software WAS researched and designed with the target users. Colorists. Just because editors can now use the same tools doesn't mean the GUI has to change to please the editors.
The GUI for Resolve was further redesigned with Colorists and it's incredibly simple for editors to pick up.
What you're asking is for all the color enhancement companies to completely redesign their GUI interfaces for editors instead of editors taking the time to learn the GUI interfaces and find out why they are so efficient in the tasks that they do.
