I read that review and agree with it wholeheartedly. I waited 10 years for a new Pacific Theater sub sim and after seeing what was possible with SH3, I could hardly wait for SH4. I bought the game immediately when it came out and almost as quickly put it on the shelf when I realized it was still a rough draft.

I now patiently await reading from others here that patch 1.X (and maybe a few mods) has finally addressed the major issues with SH4 (and there are several to be sure). Only then will I wade in and get my feet wet.

As far as the interface is concerned, I think it comes down to how quickly people acclimate. If it continues to keep nagging you then something's wrong. I still wonder who's bright idea it was to change the keyboard mapping to be different from SH3 (what were they thinking?).

Anyway, I have no doubt SH4 will be improved eventually. I look forward to that day.
