So I'm sitting here messing around with my Droid, and you can customize the home screen by adding/deleting features and dragging them around to wherever you want them on the screen: apps, widgets, facebook stream, clock, etc. A light bulb went on that this same customize-able approach could be used for the PL/SL user interface. Turn all the buttons and menus into widgets that can be added, deleted, and dragged anywhere on the screen the user sees fit. If, for whatever reason, someone wants the chat on the bottom, the skills on the left, no health/mana bar, and the joystick smack dab in the middle of the screen, they can set it up that way. Let the user choose the layout and nobody will have any reason to complain anymore. Obviously, you can start with a default layout, and have the custom UI as an option.
