Are we talking about just skins for synth that are skinnable? Or actual UI design changes? If the latter, then EVERY 1:1 synth plugin UI that simply mimics the hardware UI. That approach is so, SO dumb, IMO.
In particular, almost every single Arturia plugin could use a redesign to make better use of computer display real estate. This goes for Roland and Softube as well. It's just silly seeing a Jupiter 8-like synth UI, for instance. on my laptop screen.
TAL actually gets it. Their J8 Jupiter 8 emulation not only sounds great but makes much better use of a computer display by reconfiguring the synth layout. Because honestly, how many people have even seen a Jupiter 8 in real life let alone played one or own one? So it's beyond stupid to me to just mindlessly copy the hardware Jupiter 8 layout in software form. That makes the plugin controls miniscule except on a 49" widescreen monitor.
TAL seem to have far more imagination in this regard than these much larger companies. That's weird to me.
