I hate how whenever the discussion turns to UI's, someone will post a picture of some god-awful monstrosity of a UI as proof that mods can make it better.

#1 -- The more elements shown on screen, the worse the UI. Simplicity is the goal.

#2 -- there is zero reason to have more than one hotkey bar shown, ever. Shift1-4, Shift4-2, Shift3-3, etc. You can access all 100 hotkey slots without showing *any* on screen.

The best graphics and graphics card in the world dont mean shit if the only thing you can see is your UI. We invest in 300$+ video cards so we can play in these immersive 3D environments and then people design their UIs so that all they can see is 2D sprites
