I felt like saying something when I first upgraded to OG5.  I  
absolutely abhor the interface changes.  OG4 was perfectly usable, and  
now I feel like someone turned my world upside down, shook it a little  
bit, and then put it back together, but not quite the same way.  I'm  
still having trouble accomplishing basic things that I had down in OG4.

I also have a general "feeling" that the interface is much more dreary  
as well - the  inspector icons greying out when they're not applicable  
is actually really disturbing to me.  I know that isn't really much to  
work on, but the general interface just "feels" clumsy and unfamiliar,  
and that is not something I'm used to with an Omni product.
