I really like the design job the guy did on the interface. Maya interface is notorious for its waste of space and this is amplified by the windows GUI.

One of these days, I will have to customize the marking menu to suite my need and then work full screen. I just wished the property box could be a 'flying' windows that we could throw in another screen in a multi-screen setup.

My guess is that Alias is aware of the interface problem and will try to fix it in the next version (in a year or two.. or three...). Until then, we are stuck with it.

Probably the screen that need the biggest redesign is the hypershade. Its horrible and non user friendly.
