Will I get banned if I say Polyworks is another example of excellent, intuitive GUI? Personally, I'd prefer it if Zeiss worked harder on updating the 30 year old spaghetti code than putting a fresh coat of paint on it.

No way we are saying Polyworks has a nice GUI. 

At the end of the day every software has its own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to UIs - except for MCOSMOS 😆

In my experience, a user-friendly interface makes it more difficult to program complex measurement tasks. Calypso is more flexible - sometimes too flexible.

I fully disagree.

User-friendly GUI considers the needs and workflow of the participant.  Effective software makes complex tasks easier.

I see it the same way as many others. There likely won't be a Calypso 2026 version. But perhaps a really good 2027 one instead?

It's not going to be Calypso 2027, it's going to be Zeiss Calliope - a completely new software based on Zeiss Inspect. Remember, I called it first.

Google trends is giving me conflicting results for this.  In the United States we see two odd spikes for the word Calliope in 2026.  But the searches are not coming from where Zeiss has their main offices. You would think insiders would be googling the word Calliope.

Worldwide, searches are mostly from Italy, Serbia, and Greece.  Not exactly Zeiss hotspots either.

If it doesn't come out before December 31st, 2026, I want my 2026 SMA money back :classic_cool:.

That said, I'd be happy paying for 2026 and 2027 if they changed the icon's back or at least improved them.

Especially the ID/OD icon, because who hasn't misinterpreted the small black circle feature icon and crapped their pants when it outside the hole to measure it?
