As for me, I've used Calibre since 2011 and have no issues with the UI. I might try alternative "skins" from curiosity, but not if they consist of mostly empty white space, which seems to be a popular trend these days. IMO that's just horrible.

Could not have said it any better. Calibre is very successful when last I have checked.Tons of apps have come and gone in the space. T
he UI/ Product Designer is underestimating significantly what is involved to get new designs supported. It shows a lack of technical experience from a product designer point of view. Any suggestions should come with the ability to write code to also test the UI or funding for the Calibre team.
