Strange ExpressionEngine3 UI reDesign

[Andrei]

Hi,

I do know that this topic is nor really directly PW related, but yet it's about a well known CMS, releasing these days a major update, and I rarely or never saw such a step-back for a software in terms of "Backend Design and UX".

Meanwhile, before even the EE v2, ExpressionEngine was great CMS, the first one I knew (back in times) Custom-Fields centric, and with a well designed AdminZone, focused on the content, and so. The EE2 Admin was designed by Veerle Peters from duoh.com and was close to perfect on some points.

Enough introduction

As a EE dev' I downloaded and installed the EE3 Beta, waiting to the wow-effect and some amazing improvements, but the reaction was more like "Is that a joke?" :

*LOGIN page*

*DASHBOARD*

*PUBLISH*

In the end, the bonus track.

Responsive? Nope!

Well, well, what can I say ? ... Long live ProcessWire

Their website went from this:

 

To that patterned hideousness they have now.
