remove web stuff from xara designer

[ShapeShifter]

Would not these UI changes have happened anyway? Even without web stuff? I mean, is the web stuff entirely responsible for the UI changes made since v3. Can we really ask for new features to a drawing application and then complain about the changes the features might bring along with them?

I have little way to know whether any given modification was made to support the web functions over the drawing functions. As I said, it can be hard not to think so at times when a change adversely affects your workflow. AIR, the spacebar change was not web-related. Rather, it was an attempt to look more like the big boys at the expense of an elegant and innovative feature.

Some of the UI changes would have occurred without the web features. The Dark UI for example would have been implemented without web features simply because younger users think it is "New" and "Improved".

Keyboard shortcut changes began long before web features, as I alluded to in my previous post.

However there are changes made to support the web features because they are required for those features to exist. This is where I would like the splitting of the two concepts. Don't force me to change my drawing workflow developed over 10+ years just to give someone web features.

I have no delusion that splitting web and vector drawing will have any advantages for one or the other. It would create more work for the developers and less time to work on either product.

I'm an older user and think it's a great improvement

Consider yourself lucky to have better eyesight than some of us older folk.
