I’m now in charge of Audacity [video]

But Audacity right now does everything you need and you are not processing untrusted source files, so why would you ever need to update?

On the other hand, lots of people encounter Audacity maybe for the first time and the UI might be unappealing or confusing.

I think there is space for both you who wants an "eternal" tool and the new user who might want something more apporachable.

There are many reasons why one would like to update Audacity also if it already does everything one needs, for example increased robustness and speed in newer versions if they provide it, and also new effects that simplify existing workflows.

Also compatibility with future hardware, aka bitrot.
