That's a big win! There are very few things more frustrating than software that keeps changing the UI just because some designed somewhere wants to feel busy.

Make it work well and then stop fiddling with it.

There is a middleground. Of course, change for the sake of change sucks, you just have to relearn for no benefit.

But change for the sake of implementing m New features and having a well thought out redesign after collecting issues over a decade or so makes software more accessible and allows you to streamline workflows where new features just got tacked on over time.
