Audacity 4.0 is finally out!
TL;DR this is a huge overhaul of the popular open-source audio editing app. The UI specifically has been the biggest overhaul, making it a lot more modern and friendly to use.
Hopefully, one day, GIMP will get some kind of update like this.

About time! I was using an Adobe suite program for podcast editing years ago (Adobe didn’t get my money :P) and switched to Audacity.
I’d used Audacity fairly regularly for about 15 years and let me tell you; it was jarring how bad it was compared to modern software. I already see some UI/UX improvements that should make it much more user friendly.

watched the video on this earlier… many of the things they list as new features have been in most audio software for a quarter of a century. up til now id rather hand someone $60 to buy reaper than recommend this thing, but it’s catching up fast much like freecad has been doing lately
