Hello again Adnan.
Having spent a little more time in using Dash more extensively and hence understanding the logic if the UI, I have to say that - in my humble opinion 🙃 - you have indeed got the fundamentals right.
Thank you for your work and patience.

Thanks Adnan. I appreciate the fast response and apologies for all the negativity that Arthis rightly pointed out. He is also right about the +ves of DASH and I appreciate that as well.

DASH 1.8 UI Interface one of the most non-intuitive UIs that I have come across
RANT PART 2
Or, how about grabbing the toolbar and moving it where you want it instead of "Move Left"/Move Center"/"Move Right". Where is the "Move where I want it" menu item?
I will not clinically critique the (lack of) logic of the main functionality UI but there is a reason why most computer apps have an essentially common rationale in the UI: To help the user use it efficiently. The way this is achieved is to use common, rational & intuitive menus. If you use multiple apps then this is essential as the brain relies on patterns and a logical flow of ideas that build upon each other: File/bla bla. Edit/ bla bla. Window/ bla bla. Tools/bla bla. Help/bla bla. Horizontal main items with submenus items that clearly relate. As more options are needed then a flyout sub-sub menu. Universal logic which is essential for workflow efficiency.
DASH's UI is a non-intuitive outlier and I am fast approaching the time where I simply go back to the pre-DASH days of doing things directly in Unreal. Unreal has a logic that is certainly lacking in DASH and ultimately the old ways are more efficient for me for this reason.
And this is a problem for an app whose raison d'etre is to create efficiency through simplification of complex tasks.
I hope that you can/will fix these fundamental issues.
Thank you for reading this far.
