However, it's not as easy to peel a UI off an existing program as non-technical people might imagine. It was an excellent initiative and the effort is ongoing. http://code.blender.org/index.php/2013/10/redefining-blender... and https://developer.blender.org/project/view/12/

Listening to his podcasts made be think the about the way Apple does it with constant UI refinement, and why many open source projects are really lacking.
