GitHub user bamaer added a comment to the discussion: 2.17 Roadmap and goals
Improving Hop Gui sounds like a good focus area for 2.17.0! Hop Gui already is quite feature richt, with some refactoring and new development, we should be able to take it to the next level and turn it into a full data engineering IDE. - I especially like the idea of creating UI guidelines and developer documentation. However, guidelines are useless if we don't have a way to check if and enforce that these guidelines are followed, so that's something we'll need to look into as well. - The code for a terminal widget in Hop Gui is as good as ready to create a PR [#5938](https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/5938). - Harmonize some of the UI code: identify the more or less identical code that is repeated all over the place and move those to reusable widgets/components. - Improve the unit testing dialogs and UI flow: there currently are popups all over the place, I'm sure that can be improved significantly. - Reorganization in the metadata perspective: we have soo many different metadata types that it's easy to lose the overview - The configuration perspective needs a UI cleanup In general, I think it would be great if we could get the feedback from UI/UX designers. We all do the best we can, but software engineers and developers are not necessarily the best UI designers.
