The whole initiative to redesign the user interface is fundamentally out of touch with what other industries use software for. No we don't want new features, and a new look is not value added, it is an irritation, or worse, a waste of time.
The culture of software developers has the confused notion that it is acceptable to release unstable or half finished work, or require users adjust their workflow to accomodate the whimsy of interface designers. Imagine now that you work in aerospace, or law, and you find out that the product you rely on for work flow has suddenly become unpredictable.
Please dismiss which ever employee thought this was a good idea.
My wish for a “new updated interface” is NOT to have one. Stop trying to change the interface. The value of a tool is in the PREDICTABILITY of use and outcome.
Perhaps you no longer think of Acrobat as a tool, but rather as a service… Ok, if I tell a waiter I want a scotch and soda, and they bring me a craft beer, I don’t care if it’s new… I’m sending it back. And I’m not paying for it. Do that twice and I’m out the door and down the street.
