You do realize that is a 100% subjective statement, right?

but is yet effective for raiding.
Also totally subjective. What's effective for one player is a completely blank screen with audio cues and an army of macros, another player is playing through a 3" square porthole surrounded by so much information they have to have a headache by the end fo the day.

While, yes, you can have viewpoints, I play on a 27 inch monitor, and when the UI Graphics take up half the screen,
That's just a wee bit of an exaggeration is it not? 1/2? Really! Okay... 1/3, maybe, actually a bit less... and if you use all of the features that are present, I'll bet dollars to donuts they actually use more of the viewable space on the display than nUI does because of the way nUI compacts and combines... but if you're a minimalist, you'll hate nUI anyway, and it wasn't written for you.

it's kind of disorientating, not to mention it looks unappealing.
Again... totally subjective. Useless information and an unachievable goal (to come up with a design everyone agrees is "appealing") -- and it's disorienting only because it's new to you as are all things that are not where you expect them to be. Of course, once you use it for a while, it starts to "make sense" -- but never without an adjustment period first.

Yes, it's a good idea and clearly, it's popular, just not for me. Best of luck with it.
Does that make you unpopular? (that's a joke ~smile~)

I'm sorry it's not for you, but I have no illusions that everyone will like nUI. In fact, I assume there are a lot of people who hate it. I just can't understand why some people feel it necessary to tell everyone else.

Why would those who appreciate this type of a UI care that you don't?
