What do you think about this game's UI?

Personally, it is the only downside of this game that I have. The UI is pretty atrocious and not very easy to use. Switching chat channels is a pain, having to use #, #, $, for channels is tedious. Not having a "reply to last PM" is also a pain. Not being able to right click an item in your inventory to equip is is pretty bad. No search function in stash tabs. (I have so many gems!). Shards don't auto stack well when depositing them into stash. And the worst of all, at least to me, is the social tab. It's just a pain to use. It's a pain to manage friends, it's a pain to mange parties, and blugh.

However, given time, I believe that GGG will fix just about all of these things in the future. This game is the best ARPG that has ever been created, (Even better than D2) and I can only see it becoming better in the future.

I'm not sure if I like it or dislike it. I guess all I can think about is that I got used to it fairly quickly.

I definitely agree about no quick key to respond to whispers. That needs to be implemented. I'm ashamed to say it took me a minute to figure out how to even respond to a tell, short of writing it out (his name was long and not easily typed).

I don't mind using # or $, I find that's faster than clicking and switching around. I also like that I can hide/unhide the general chat and/or trade.

From the way the game has evolved, I'm sure there will be plenty of changes/improvements made in this regard. Wouldn't hurt to suggest somethings in the suggestion section too. I'm sure most of us would support UI improvements, I know I would.

A lot of the changes to UI you're mentioning are very easy to do however they are extremely time consuming.

While I completely agree that the chat functionality changes you've mentioned would be very nice I would much rather have them be working 100% on act 3 and new content and then have a clean up crew come in to spiff up everything after.

^^ This. Totally.

The only thing UI related that "I" think should be fixed asap, is that size of the user panel. I would really prefer to have it scaleable, as i am not a fan of the health globes concealing the bottom corners if your vision at all. The rest can be polished up over time.

Just my thoughts.

+1

The user panel is too big in my eyes, even in high resolutions.

An option to scale it would be nice, like it is possible in Torchlight 2.

I really do h8 the chat system.... countless times when im trying to talk to Party and i end up talking in Global...

Chat thing isn't (totally) UI related, I made a thread about it here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/66914

But frankly, ALL the other UI are pretty much fine, with the exception of the instance manger UI.
