could you not incrementally improve the UI, without a drastic surgery of the UI? For example, add an extra screen here or there, add theming support, then allow UI customization, then, add a new IU selectable as a new theme, etc etc.

If you chose the wrong abstraction for the project, it's often reflected in the logical structure of the app and it takes some serious creativity to correct it without changing the UI very much, IME.

Often the things that make the app hard to work on also make it hard to use.
