I really don't get UI haters.  It makes little sense to me how you can be confused by such a simple left/right design.  It's basically a cross media bar with better organization.  Unless you're constantly jumping on apps that you have used 15 apps in between it shouldn't be a problem (since that's how many fit on the bar).

I said the UI was a cluttered mess.  Not that anything about it was difficult.  The organization with it is non-existant.  There's is no way to sort anything the way I want, and it just throws the last 10 items in my face as if any of them are things I'm going to want to use.  I have 130 games on my PS3's hard drive, no less than 200 music tracks, etc.  You think I'm going to want to see the last 10 items of what I last used when it gets to that point on PS4?

Then, everything on the screen is a link to the PS Store, if I don't have it downloaded.  Better yet, don't show me that stuff, because I haven't downloaded HULU because I don't want it!

I want my games organized into catigories, and sub-catigories, which the PS3 allowed me to do.  The screen also wasn't filled with clutter like some old windows desktop with a million icons on the main screen.  I want my stuff cleaned up, and organized how I like so it's out of the way until I'm ready for it.  I don't like all that social crap on my screen...

I don't care how many times you played destiny yesterday.  I'm not getting the game and if I had it, I still wouldn't give two shits.  It's annoying, plain and simple.  Everything looks better when you're not connected online.  Even then, 1/4th of the screen is covered by a nag window telling you to connect, or sign in.-- Leave me alone?! I'll sign in if I feel like I know how to connect to the internet.

ummm ok I've used it just a few times (considering I've had it since launch) and I must say I've never accidentally signed in and never had an issue feeling pressured to do so.  The games and apps are all right there on the menu.  If you want to look further back there's the library.  You can go up and get your trophies, store, profile, or anything else you desire.  On PS3 the organization was with PS1, 2, or 3 games.  Only PS4 games can be played on PS4 so they don't have those folders.  Now it would be nice to have folders but I'm just saying it's no less organized than PS3.
