@abogawat, it’s probably a lot of work to come up with a new UI for Joplin, but if you have some idea feel free to give it a try.

One issue I’ve noticed with previous UI proposals if that they introduce new features, for example tabs, or note snippets, etc. which means we can’t even implement the design because the features aren’t there (and in some cases won’t be).

So to keep it simple and make sure we can use the design, it’s best to stick to the features that Joplin currently offers. On the other hand changing the layout, appearance of components, etc. of course is perfectly fine.
