I really want to make a stand for Kovid Goyal here, because he has indeed done an excellent job with Calibre. But every time this discussion comes up, people act like pointing out a user interface isn't intuitive is throwing shit at the developer, which it isn't.

Maybe there is a reason people do spend years studying interaction design, and we can agree there's probably things that could be improved on the interface to make it more intuitive by someone who's specialised in that?

The interface can be definitely improved, but that requires actual research and resources to pull it off. But as of now, it's not that complicated and very well documented.

I understand that, it’s a lot of work and resources are needed. The most important aspect in this regard is features over UX. But for a casual user, not finding UI elements we’re used to makes it harder to want to learn it for a few use cases. So maybe I’m not the target (power user in ebook domain). But dismissing any UI change as useless … maybe it’s far fetched.
