Yeah, I guess we will indeed see more custom GUIs from now on ...
But sarcasm aside, I personally do not care because I make the custom surfaces anyway. I had never the idea to use a Max GUI for anyone else but myself and I like the application also for the ability to make custom GUIs. That's why I would have preferred a less fancy outfit to work with.
However, the "old" Max looked old fashioned, some might say ugly, now it looks like a toy and wastes a lot of space in a patch. But it works better than before and it is still a tool. I don't remember one good technical application that got refused by serious users because they didn't like the look of it.
