The graphical user interface has, until now, been a point of contention for some DJs: It was cramped, didn’t scale properly and was starting to look frankly a bit dated. Historically, Virtual DJ has taken flack because some DJs don’t consider it to be “professional” software for performance, which could be a result of Atomix having initially produced software that today would appear very simple, or that it has given away millions of copies of the free version making it many people’s first stepping stone in DJ software, or maybe even just the name (“Virtual DJ” implies the opposite of “real DJ”, after all).
