Default Feature Request: New UI and Ribbon Menu

Good afternoon dear community, I would like to provide a suggestion of a new function for Protools, this affects the graphical interface, improving the experience of controls, mixing and project management based on the user experience standard. You have already tried it successfully, in your Sibelius software:
https://www.avid.com/es/-/media/avid...re-monitor.jpg

The new interface with Ribbon Menu and Docking Layout for projects manager, It will be incredibly versatile to improve workflow.

I add other features that you can add to your next version of award-winning Pro Tools.

- New UI for Avid Protools:
--- Developed on .NET Core 5 64 bits
--- Ribbon Menu (Sibelius and MS Office Style)
--- Docking Layout (Visual Studio Style)
- HiDPI Compatible (1440p, 4K and 8K monitors)
- White & Dark Mode
- ToolKit for Streaming and live show
- Complete Integration:
--- WWISE Integration
--- Avid Link Integration
--- Remote Recorder Toolkit (similar to Steinberg VST Connect Pro)
--- Built-in AVID Marketplace

My cordial greetings.

God Please No. The ribbon interface is the most unintuitive and convoluted UI ever created. It tries to take over duties of both menubar and toolbar, and makes them both more unpredictable and inscrutable. It's the #1 reason I 1) stayed with Sibelius 6 for *way* too many years and then 2) moved to MuseScore.

I want my record button, and my tools, and my main counter, to always be in the same place, unless I explicitly move them.

I don't think the "MS Word Look" is a way to go.

You know the one thing AVID are worse at than making us feel like we are overall valued users. The ribbon interface. Please NEVER EVER should AVID do another ribbon interface. If you need a fantastic explanation of why AVID should never design ribbon interfaces https://youtu.be/dKx1wnXClcI?t=427. Also the whole video is worth a watch as it’s a very good review of Sibelius in general.

Wow that guy nailed it. Yes, the ribbon in Sibelius is a disaster.

AVID worried me with their last ACA questionaire. "Performance improvements" and "UI Redesign" were the "same improvement" for PT. I don't think so...

For the love of humanity - please no! Anyone remember when Microsoft changed the gui of their Office products like Word and Excel to add a ribbon? Went from eminently usable to something that wasn't.
