It often seems like UX teams can’t help themselves and that the urge to destroy useful in favor of some idealized UI that doesn’t solve the task at hand comes with them. The UX industry is terrified of expert users or having to understand the product.

I hope this doesn’t happen to grafana.

It’s literally my job to keep Grafana real. Our budding UX team is getting a lot of training on SRE as a discipline and we run weekly internal UX feedback sessions where all of engineering can join and course-correct. Same with weekly feedback sessions with our existing user base. Get in touch with david at grafana if you’d like to participate.
As a Grafana user in an extremely large organization, I think the current UX leaves little to be desired. Definitely keep the simplicity of it up.
