P: New user interface lacks contrast and many usability cues, lots of other problems

Yes, where is Jeff? He came on, chastised the group for focusing on the one developer who has taken credit for this UI, left, and hasn't been heard from.

There may have actually been 3 or 4 responses from Adobe but nothing to suggest there is light at the end of that dark grey, darker grey and black tunnel. I'm astounded that someone up the corporate food chain hasn't addressed the many issues presented here, and well explained too, often with screenshots or diagrams. Totally lousy PR Adobe. Any business is founded on it's customers and in particular customer loyalty. Talk with us!

Agreed, can someone point me to the thread where people were complaining about the old UI and requesting an update ?

Why not focus on the  task at hand: the poorly designed and miserable 'new' interface of Photoshop? I don't see any value in wasting our energy bickering over dissenting opinions. Opinions are just that, subjective personal opinions. And let's not forget that we all are here in this forum to let Adobe know, loud and clear, that subjective opinions should NEVER be the basis for UI design. 

Man walks into room, expresses polar opposite opinion after telling everyone they are 'over the top'...while Adobe choose to ignore the conversation and let the community argue among themselves...should we phone Einstein to ask for the outcome ?

Hey, come on guys, can't be lampooning people simply because they like or don't have a problem with the new look. Adobe could have made it all magenta and yellow and there would be people who liked it. Just let him be, he likes it and should be welcome to voice that here. Most of you hate it, I personally think the change is irritating, excruciatingly amateurish and feels like using bad knock-off software from China, but I also don't think it's unusable. Embarassingly stupid and inconsiderate? Absolutely.

@11637735: the light version of the UI, the one I prefer, will never pass any serious accessibility test. And I am not even talking about general usability testing here.

There are responses from Adobe, please read the rest of the topic.

Hey everyone: we are still "talking" in a chat board, logging hundreds of insightful, constructive comments, and the overwhelming consensus is that the new UI for Photoshop is a step backwards. And yet, this subject does not have any response from Adobe. This is getting surreal. HELLO ADOBE-- ANYONE HOME? How many posts before this gets on your radar screen?
