[bisq-network/bisq] Why does Bisq need a new GUI? (#5371)

[Conza]

> I think it doesn't. I'm not vehemently against the UI being redesigned. I wish those doing it the best of luck, and will help where possible. **But I think it is an unnecessary waste of money**, or money spent in the wrong direction.

I think it is **_definitely_** necessary. However, I put it below the other priorities.[https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/discussions/5271](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/discussions/5271 )

_1. API Release
4. Reduce trade protocol to 1 single transaction
5. Increase liquidity by allowing each offer to have multiple payment methods & currencies associated with it
6. Implement new-user-onboarding and new UI design
8. Improve BSQ buying/selling overall process_

> As a reminder, apparently revamping the UI will (per the project description) :
> 
> * Enable Bisq to capitalize on it's clear competitive advantages
> * **Improve user conversion rates**
> * Increase user loyalty and retention
> * **Increase growth in number of users**
> * **Maximize revenue for the DAO**
> * **Reduce support issues and associated costs**
> * **Improve the trading experiences for users**
> * Enable is to be designed in a way that meets a variety of user needs and requirements

I think it'd accomplish those in bold pretty clearly. No-one seriously thinks onboarding anyone new to Bisq as an intro to Bitcoin is a good option. I WANT it to be, but its not. That becoming an option instead of having to try make a non-KYC case to try _OVERCOME_ the obvious barriers regarding ease of use etc. 

Ideally its just USE Bisq, and its as easy an option onboarding as any other exchange. Liquidity etc. and all that will then flow (along with other problems addressed above), but more users who stick around, more folks recommending it be used to NEW people who are wanting to ACQUIRE Bitcoin / those more advanced keen to sell. 

A new BSQ buy process is vital for the lifeblood of DAO, and more users, more trades ideally, more BSQ fee's bought/burned. Easier, simpler experience. 

> And finally I think the current UI is really very good.

I have also gotten used to it. But it needs to be more noob, new user friendly. The 'basic' walk-through I suspect might get 'old' for power users/advanced, which if possible I think there should be the option to maintain/revert to old interface (not sure of 'costs' of that in terms of mem siz etc.)

This gives the choice to users, helps new ones, and for those that don't like 'change'.
