It's not about how nice the UI is is, but rather how responsive it is and if it's providing your users with enough feedback.

If it's not, it will lead to your users being confused and/or frustrated which will lead to them looking for an alternative tool.

If you're product is the only one in town, then they're just left to deal with it until a competitor pops up with a better (whether real or perceived) UI.

>(whether real or perceived) UI

Wouldn't they be the same? If i perceive some ui as awful, it's real(ly awful). A program I've used since the 80s has progressively been 'flattened' and is now a complete pain to use - to such an extent I often prefer to fire up ye olde atari emulator. To me - the pain is real, and perceived.

Please elaborate a bit on real vs. perceived UI!
