No matter how often i check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.
And when im lucky enough to find something i actually need, the advice is just plainwrong (most recently the knife tool and cut-through, literally wrong information)
i’ve been using blender since 2.8, because of 2.8, and i can’t see much of a difference especially layout-wise from 2.8
I was one before you at 2.79 and to say the change was jarring was an understatement.
For sure for the best tho it looked out of windows xp
also made it way more accessible to newcomers, i tried to use it with 2.79 but i just couldn’t get a hang on the UI, 2.80 really made it usable for me and many others
