Daniel Jalkut channels John Welch in some harsh criticism of the user interface to Videator, the CoreVideo app from Stone Software.
While I think the UI to Videator (and their previous CoreImage app, Imaginator,) was pony, I have to say that Andrew Stone has some great design ideas. Sure, his UI is based on years of working in the NeXT playground but he’s listening to the Mac crowd. His other apps, the Stone Tools, are in some ways the best of breed. I’ve previously used Create to do a book layout because at the time there was no other page layout software on Mac OS X
I reckon its a hard area to work out. Yes, the Ui is bad, but it’s not as bad as John or Daniel make out.
