i'm experiencing a laggy interface on my craptop too. but since this is experimental and many features are not ported anyway, i'm still sticking with 2.49.. i will say that a netbook isn't an ideal machine to run any 3d program.. as for the 'ribbon' interface, i remember reading news articles at the time office 2007 was…
google does a great job with the Summer of Code, other big companies should take an example on it. It is also great to see that blender get's so actively supported especially code wise in the community.
A lot of coexisting stuff has already been added (the option for left click to select for example), more is planned (custom keymaps etc), and more is possible in the future (app specific themes and layouts?).

Pior, I had to overdose on videos before I saw how easy it actually was to use Blender. Also, I posted a thread link on the last page if you want to follow my questions as a new Blender user, and read responses I got. Check this series out. http://www.blendernewbies.com/tutorials/swf/pretzels/part1/pretzels_part1.html…
I don't care about using python to change the UI as it is/will be. I quite like blender's UI as it is and I'm sure it will only get better with 2.5. I'm more interested in the custom rigging/control panels I'll be able to build that will pretty much duplicate all the rigging tools I've built for myself in XSI. I very much…
Okay, first question: where's 'connect'? as in: select two adjacent edges, split them and connect the resulting verts into a new edge If all we have is this knife, then my forray into Blender is over before it started, heh
"G" makes more sense than other letters because it's more or less in the center of QWERTY so you have other keys under, above and around, especially when Blender is dependant on shortcuts rather than menus.
