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.

I don't know if they're having an issue with the flatpak version or something but the UI feels broken, elements don't line up and the text looks unusually small for the buttons. It also has problems with running a dark version, some UI elements are still white.

Switched to Tenacity. Works good enough for me.

Looks like they took some cues from Dark Audacity. A dark theme is nice, but when Audacity first started adding telemetry shit I took Dark Audacity for a spin and hated more or less every UI "improvement." Lots of extra menu diving to access important, heavily used features DA decided was "clutter." Tenacity has some bugs but it's served me very well since otherwise

Ugh, they still actually think the cloud shite is a feature.

……holy shit, this is massively different from the last time I used this. This would be bigger for those who have iPads for podcasts

Hmmm new major version sounds interesting but I hear this one is slopified?
