The old Skitch UI was ugly and non-standard but very functional. I like the direction they're going with the new version of Skitch, but they should have waited to release it until the features were comparable.
Forcing Skitch to sync with Evernote is also awful. Every time you quit Skitch now, it nags you about needing to sync. I understand why they need to do this, but the UX is just bad.

This is like the whole can't-get-a-human-at-Google-when-gmail-breaks issue. If you don't like it, pay $50 a year and you can call someone. Or stop using gmail.
