> When have most users ever enjoyed a new UI in a system that they're used to?

Blender.

Is has seen some drastic changes in UI but barely any backlash. Even holy-cows like right-click select got mercilessly slaughtered and I am not even mad about it, in fact I love the changes.

The main thing is that they are focusing on providing value to users and are dog footing their own software to create movies.

But yeah, generally people hate change and you should avoid changing things as much as possible. Sadly that doesn't work with the way incentives in most companies work.

Yeah, you have to change things and make things look good and on trend to get hired or promoted. If you work on something that looks a few years old in your portfolio, you will be on the job market longer

Honestly, Blender is probably the best example anyone could bring up - thanks for that, they really did wonders with the UI/UX!
