IMO doing a redesign that improves things without pissing off old users is probably the hardest thing those projects can do.

I've seen FAANG companies messing this up so much that it makes it 10x more impressive that an open source project managed to do it.



I still have trouble creating issues in Jira because it's never where I expect it to be. I know it's at the top bar somewhere, but even after years of it being there, I don't expect it to be there because it feels so unnatural.

I feel that the way that Blender has succeeded so brilliantly at exactly that is their master-stroke. The software was already an amazing tool, but the way they've managed to actually improve it without destroying it in the process... Wow. Truly amazing.
