I refuse the premise that it's oldui familiarity resulting in newui confusion. I'm new to both oldui and newui and find oldui immensely more discoverable and navigable than newui with respect to custom partitioning. At least as big a problem for the present state of testing and opinions of newui is that that anaconda ui/ux itself hasn't been stable. There have been significant changes, not merely bug fixes, pre-alpha F18 to beta final. > When you do complex operations do you just dive right in? Or do you try > to learn how to use it first?

Because you used the word glossy, I'm going to assume this whole paragraph is hyperbole. That this much effort would be necessary to describe UI function would by my definition make the UI a hostile user experience.
