I was a little nervous about learning the new interface for ArcGIS at first. More often than not, I am very bad at getting a handle on massive changes to a program’s UI, especially with how comfortable I am with the old one. However, I think the new map viewer for ArcGIS is a lot easier to navigate to me. It may be because of the separate layer panes, since that setup reminds me of the digital art and editing software I’m accustomed to. I also like the addition of the popups tutorial in this version of the training (even though it might have been in the original training and I’m just forgetting). I will say that revisiting ArcGIS and learning new features has been pretty enjoyable. I like learning new aspects of a program, while still being able to connect the new stuff to the older aspects that I already knew before.
