I think a better UX for average consumer would be more a side-swiping filter menu similar to that of social media mobile apps, with different non-math style names "default blur", "circle blur", etc. Especially as more people do not use desktop computers today.

Also maybe LLM integration so you can just explain what you want done, then it does it, instead of needing to follow some tutorial to learn the software

I like how this counts as a reasonable side remark today but would have been utterly delusional just a few years ago.

Yes, why bother learning how to use things?

(or invest in UX/user research)
