I just complained about being forced to launch the console-based IU first and then launch the desktop mode and it seems that some people took this criticism too hard.
"Gneu if you don't like the interface, all you have to do is learn to develop it and do it yourself" I had that kind of rhetoric when I was in elementary school. Who cares if they made 4 different interfaces, if we find that the 4 are not optimal, we have the right to say it, that's all. It would have been the same if they had made 100.
And it is mainly because of the problem I complained about that I use standalone emulators on PC. But on consoles (especially on Switch), the new interface works very well. I'd like her to arrive on Lakka too.
But it's made to work with a controller, I just wish there was a way to have a good PC interface. No need to cry as soon as someone criticizes a product you like, if at the beginning we criticize it's also because in a certain sense we like Retroarch (and in my case, it is a lot).
And on top of that apparently we're not the only ones who find the interface not very intuitive, but I haven't complained about that, the interface is complicated but there are all the options so I can find my way around. Others would like something simpler, something that could attract more casual users, I think.
