See, I like the tab idea, so that wouldn't bug me. The gradient transparency and the new transform handle location, those are awesome. The rest of this, though... *sigh* Something that's always bothered me is when any program decides to totally override a window manager's way of things. If the option is there, that's one thing, but I'm always annoyed as hell at any app which tells me that my OS sucks by providing its own interface.
If I'm running Windows (I am, but you already know I harbour zero resentment toward anyone else's system of choice, even if plenty toward my own, *grin*) give me a large box with document windows and make the window resizeable on all sides and corners and don't fucking try to 'skin' it. I picked my colour scheme for a reason, motherfuckers. If I'm running some other OS, match that system's way of things. Porting software isn't about forcing everyone else to conform, it's about giving them options, and that's doubly important when the software costs more than it would to buy a computer with that other system.
Thing is, I always come back to the same lament. I'd ditch Adobe's software in a second if any of the other options felt up to snuff.
