Not Liking the look of the New Sonar Interface

 whilst the bitmaps can look more realistic, they're not scalable.

They easily could be, if a program was written to do so, and the source graphics were of sufficient resolution to allow upward scaling, and of the right design to be usable in downward scaling. ;)

Not being a programmer, I don't know if it would be any more or less complex than converting a whole GUI to vector.

So what's the problem with the new look interface, that the new GUI is not as sophisticated as old GUI technology? I bet other companies could pull this off to look like the old CB interface if that what's they wanted. I think there could be workarounds that allow the new Sonar to have the same identical GUI is the old Bandlab and Sonar. It just may take some work to making it work from the program currently used to design the new Sonar GUI.

They made a clear design choice to move away from the skeuomorphic style and go fully 2D flat, paired with a more muted colour palette that has noticeably less contrast and saturation than Skylight ever did. Add to that some overly abstract icons and font choices that don’t always read well, and the end result feels less functional as well as less engaging.

That's the problem in a nutshell.
