First of all, let me clarify what I think of caliber: it is fantastic software, superior to many paid programs. So I just have to thank the generosity of Kovid and his hard work. I use caliber for the most different things: not only books but also scientific papers and even to catalog a coin collection. The uses are endless and all this thank Kovid's genius.
Having said that, it seems to me that Calibre is like a car with a wonderful, very powerful engine but with a body that needs some adjustment.
The mockups provided by Openartist are in my opinion really beautiful and I'd like to see them implemented.
I also think some comments were a little ungenerous: I'm sure Openartist has spent much of his time producing these mockups and it seems to me that he was told, albeit kindly, to think of something else.
Finally, I don't think that a refresh of the interface can harm the workflow; if anything it can improve it.
Even the fact that Caliber is mostly used in listview does not seem to me to be a convincing objection: those who use it in that mode can continue to do so, while other users may prefer a different layout.
My 0,000000002 cents :-)
