I have to disagree with you on that. I will use a metaphor to compare v5 and v8. Let us pretend that our Windows Desktop is Ootp. In v5, let us say we had... 40 features. We could easily put all these features on the desktop, organized in columns, and it would look pretty clear. Everything would be easy to find. Now, let us go to v8, which has, say, 120 features. Sure, we could put them all on the desktop, but organizing them would be a major pain. The desktop would look all cluttered, and columns would not be big enough, and finding everything would take a long time. What the developers did was add folders to the desktop. That way, it looks uncluttered, and with just one click on a folder, you can access detailed information about a topic in particular that otherwise would have been scattered all over your desktop.
Complicated? If you mean complex and detailed, sure, but if you mean hard to figure out, I disagree. Cluttered? That, I really disagree. V8 is organized, menus are simple to use and divide information well as to avoid clutter, from my experience.
