I've always found the Audacity UX to be cumbersome. I hope they make some big changes. I'm not super optimistic, though.

If your needs are simple, I find mhwaveedit[0] much more pleasant to use than Audacity. It also ships with a ton of high quality filters. Really nice piece of software.

Definitely an instance of "to each their own" for me, starting a project in Audacity was refreshingly straightforward the first time I tried it. The non-destructive effect stacking mentioned in the video sounds pretty awesome.

The project you mentioned seems nice and clean, but looks like it's Linux only (specifically GTK2 only). For me that would limit the ability to share editing projects with others way too much, since so many are on Windows. Also, the 8 track limit might be frustrating for musicians.
