I see the ongoing QT transition on your roadmaps but the new UI style revamp you started a couple of years ago always remain incomplete. You need to standardize/ unify the UI style one more time. Max is still a mix of different styles of icons, menus, bars, Windows etc

check this large but no exhaustive request

Seriously, have you guys checked out Blender 2.80b ?? I dare to say that's among, or the most consistent,amazingly clean, performant, snappy interface of any 3d application I've ever seen!

- everyhting is consistent (icons, panels, menus etc )

- everything scales smoothly, fonts, icons (vector graphics I guess)

- incredibly fast - no glitches, no artifacts

- nice tabbed workspaces

- re-ordered icons in a meaningful manner

- everything's definable and customizable

... just at a first glimpse. They really got their stuff together after all..

what happened to the team that worked on the max new icons and Ui design  afterall ? Fired ?
