Re:Ask HN: What are good examples of “pro” UI? by gitgud on Thursday December 13, 2018 @09:09AM (#18672367)
Well as a CAD/IDE/VIDEO EDITOR power user I liked the following UI concepts:

I LIKE:

- Keyboard shortcuts!

- Hide/Add menu items

- Save a copy of your settings configuration

- Scripting system in a well documented language

- Clean icon-based tabbed menu at top, like MS Word.

- Large work-space, for editing/viewing

- File browser tree on left

- Definitely a plugin system/store

I HATE:

- I hate to see thousands of menu items...

- I hate to see a lot of space dedicated to small menus that don't get used much/ever. If I don't need it, then hide it.

- When there's no way to create a shortcut
