I am also a Sony Alpha user and the interface seems anti-designed. Like, willfully obtuse and user-hostile. I know UI is not easy, but relative to the scope/scale of Sony, how hard would it really be for them to cop even a few best practices in software design?

Agreed. The Alpha software reeks of "design by committee" for the entire mass of camera users to allow anything to be controlled with equal weight. It's a major problem.

And sony typically focuses a lot on design.

But I disagree with this and the article; SLRs is based on historic professional use of manual cameras; to which, much of the manual design is useful for.
