Sony is famous for having the worst interfaces of all the big camera manufacturers.

Lightroom most likely has “obsolete paradigms” for the same reason Photoshop does: because professionals want to use what they know rather than what is fashionable. Reprogramming their muscle memory is not something people want to be doing. Anyway, I find Lightroom’s UI very nice to work with.

Lightroom is very intuitive, once you've spent a few years learning how everything works.

That's the joke, yes.

I don't know, I think the learning curve is pretty gentle. Like all complex software, it may be difficult to master, but getting started felt easy enough as far as I remember.

I found it incredibly frustrating at first, so much so that a Loupedeck became a wise and necessary investment to keep the anticipation of editing burden from beginning to depress my interest in photography.

I still have the Loupedeck, on one of the shelves behind my desk. I think I might have used it twice last year.
