I think the issue is not a good UI going bad. Rather, it's a familiar UI going unfamiliar.

I can use Ps with my eyes closed, and it's software aimed for professional usage. Changing the UI means I'm losing hours and hours of conditioning myself to its quirks, as well as familiarity with the software. Even if the new UI is better, you'd have to weight how much better it is.

That's questionable though — there are a lot of people switching over to Sketch who were previously in Photoshop, and while Photoshop may have never been the right tool for interface design work... plenty of Photoshop users were willing to try something new.

You're right though, it's all a matter of weighing whether or not it's worth it. I wonder what Adobe's methodology for the change was.
