In the early 2000s, people were taking classes to learn how to use Word. Now even grandma uses Word without thinking about it.

We're talking about 2026. GIMP had an excuse for its UI back in 1999. It doesn't anymore.

PS isn't that much simpler or more intuitive now than back then. It's an inherently more complicated tool.
