Eh, no.

White Knights aside people who love XI and loved the UI there did it because it could be controlled using ONLY the keyboard, so the menu system worked perfect for the way things are structured in that game. Same with using a game pad, it's far more convenient in XI than it ever will be in XIV. No need to use a mouse at all.

But the moment XIV went for the WoW-ish UI that required a mouse was the moment using menus became a liability rather than a good feature. And if you see the silly reply they gave they did it for space because they have decided people playing at 1080p and up have to suffer the same as people playing at 720p. As simple as that.

So again, no, you are unlikely to see anyone from XI (unless they are trolling) defending the menus here.
