@s0@cathode.church definitely agree that there's a lot that can be learned from them.
on the flip side, having used MA2, MA3, MagicQ, Avolites, DMXControl, FreeStyler, and QuickShow/BEYOND, there's definitely a wide range of quality in these UX designs, and in general the good UX only really shines once you've got a show file up and running and patched/merged into the ground package - it's far more daunting if you need to set the show file up from scratch and build all your cues/executors or do timecode.

@s0@cathode.church first console I ever touched was an Avolites Tiger Touch II at SHA Camp in 2017. the guy at the music tent saw me checking the setup out and let me watch, then gave me control for a bit after I'd figured out the basics. took me all of about 10 minutes to figure out enough to be able to busk, and picked up extra features and stuff as I went. but if I had to set it all up first, instead of it already being good to go? even with the manual it would've been a major slog.
