Matt - please take my note with humor if possible, sorry if it sounded offensive. However, please note the underlying critique is targeted towards the fact that TG has seen only minor improvements, with requests for substantial features reaching far into the past, some being close to 10-15 years.
I guess everyone's priorities will vary, but to me TG Sky is just not something I'll ever find useful, especially since it doesn't offer anything over TG except for a different UI.
As for the UI, I don't see how TG Sky's UI will be suitable for all the functionality that TG provides (and needs to provide). While TG Sky is built around a render preview with only a few parameters exposed to the main UI, TG's main UI element is and will probably always need to be the node editor with lots of UI elements that would not fit visually into TG Sky right now - these two are entirely different paradigms and I personally struggle to see how TG in its full extents will translate to TG Sky.
That said, I trust in your vision, still, for those waiting to see substantial updates to TG the wait has been very long, while the switch to a subscription based model turned out to be costly without much return (again, everyone's priorities will vary). There were features brought to TG that I personally value very much, it's just that a new TG based on its UI is close to unimaginable to me. Maybe you have something to show so users can discuss and give you early feedback.
Please don't take this personally as it's my personal opinion only. Especially since I know a single developer can't move everything forward at once, it all takes its time.
Sorry for bringing this up and hijacking the thread.
