Yes, and to be honest, perhaps the discussion should continue in a Musescore forum.
I'm confused as to why a case-study of another qt5 based application's UI/UX as it compares to FreeCAD is relevant to be posted on Musescore. The agenda is making the FC UI/UX better.

Sorry, but I don't really get what the animated gif should demonstrate. As many of these gifs it's hard to follow, because it is unknown where it starts or ends, if that has some meaning after all, etc.
The title of this forum is 'UI/UX Design'. UX aka User Experience. Gifs in this subforum can be used to convey different User Experiences. I do wish that the free software that I'm using had the capability to indicate when the beginning of the gif starts or have a progress bar. I would use it.
In this case I argue on the side that of any place in the forum, this subforum is most relevant to display animated gifs. And in this case, where we're dealing with a case study all the more relevant, IMHO.
Inkscape folks utilize animated gifs (without indicating start/finish, mind you) to explain their latest feature additions, and I really appreciate that they do this, it helps me understand what the feature actually does than just simply writing it in a changelog:

http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... notes/0.92
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... notes/0.91
I wish phpbb gave me the control to change the size of the way the gifs are shown, which I would make much smaller and less overwhelming...but unfortunately I can't.

Besides how did you upload this 5MB sized file?

There is no need to defend yourself
I'm not taking this personally at all. Just expressing a counter-point.

of course we should every now and then have a look beyond the end of our own bowl (as we say overhere), but we should just take it as an inspiration and that's it.
This is the definition of what I was doing, IMO.

Actually, you know what would make sense? This dude, Tantacrul, critiquing FreeCAD. I'm certain he would absolutely destroy FreeCAD's design, but given that it's the only free option out there, I'm sure he'd see the merits of it. This would probably be a month's time of research; he'd see other videos, test the software himself, and make detailed analysis of the icons and panels. He'd probably be amazed by the fact that you can create pretty impressive models as well, once he reaches the Users showcase subforum.
I agree. There would be much to talk smack about when it comes to the FC UI/UX for sure. Then soon after, demonstrate the work of @ppemawm... and observe the awe. I think @ppemawm's signature says it best:
"It is a poor workman who blames his tools..."

I wonder if he'd do a funny sketch with Jürgen and Werner, just as he made of Musescore's developer, who incidentally is also called Werner. It seems Werners are popular in free software.
Thank goodness for our Werner.
An aside, it's interesting how these comic critique clips generate so much buzz. @sliptonic was surprised when he posted his video. He puts out all these clips describing functions of FC and features and cool stuff... but the moment he puts out 5 reasons why people hate FreeCAD...whoosh... "X reasons why Y sucks" clips get more clicks. An interesting aspect of human psychology I guess.

So, Kunda, get to it.
