Existing users, 
I've been using Drive Genius for over a year, it's a great utility. Recently I upgraded to Leopard and tried out Drive Genius 2. The GUI is AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL. I hope they didn't pay someone to come up with this abomination. The intro screen is worthless eye candy; it wastes acres of screen real estate with empty space, yet still forces the user to click for a second screen of utility icons. Utterly worthless.
But the real surprise came when I went to shut off this miserable eye candy in the preferences. That's right, there is no sensible alternative to Drive Genius's asinine utility chooser. It must have taken a genius to come up with something that sucks so bad.
I will not be upgrading to version 2 until the GUI is fixed.
Drive Genius
Storage management: maintain, manage, optimize.
Version: 2.2.1
OMG, what an AWFUL GUI!

Hi Central Scrutinizer,Sorry to hear you don't care for the new UI. The new UI is definitely quite a big step away from regular UI of products past. The fact is, the vast majority of people that see the new UI and use the product love it. It really has been the number one feature that people have been excited about--
Of course, UI and design are indeed personal preference and although the overwhelming majority of users write back to us with compliments like, "gorgeous UI" and "I love the new design", there are a few that would love a different look..
Cheers,
Gordon from Prosoft-
