    The UI is so confusing. I am like oops I dragged something and now it created a new menu inside the menu and it disappeared.
    It is super confusing!

      I am learning from scratch, and comparing both 2.79 and 2.80 it is so much progress and so much easier and intuitive for beginners.

      It is amazing to see open source reach this far.

        I wish the mice had an easier to click middle button (the wheel) because you have to use it a lot in Blender to rotate quickly around objects. Currently my finger starts hurting within a few minutes of dealing with Blender.

          You will not believe it, but Logitech has a mouse for you:

            That's the old design. 2.80 design is nothing like that scenario.

              I actually got used to Blenders design quite fast. Haven't tried new version, but I hope it hasn't changed a lot.
              Okay maybe only menus and icons needed rework and make all the menus flat.

                Do they still make these kind of mice? I want one like that, just like I used to have back in the day, but only wireless (w/ USB dongle, preferably).

                  Blender wasn't open source right from the start.

                    That's nitpicking.
                    It has spent most of its life as opensource (was closed source only between 1998 and 2002).
                    It also was saved and kept alive by opensourcing.
