I remember hating the WL7 GUI, everything was wrong 
Then I figured out how to reposition stuff, and suddenly it all made sense. 8 works even better, and I can zip around doing work. Granted, it’s a bit of a learning curve, it doesn’t really function like other software packages–then again, anyone who’s ever tried their hand on, say QuarkXpress (love it, btw), Adobe Premiere, hell, MSWord for that matter, will have to learn the guis. Not that WL is perfect, far from it, but it is, IMHO, eminently workable. 6 was simple and understandable, but I wouldn’t want to go back.
