Is it just me or is Niagara just the most awful particle system ever saw?
I’ve worked a lot with particle systems like PFlow, Thinking Particles and also X-Particles, so in general I would say I am pretty familiar with the common events and functions and of how things interact.
Before I used Niagara I looked into Cascade and I was already confused by this stacking logic which, allows redundant functions but at the same time doesn’t allow deleting certain things. Cascade already had a lot of unclear parameters and the documentation does not explain how things actually interact. And it feels like this got 100x worse with Niagara. For sure there was a huge demand for advanced VFX but these weird stacking and unfolding menus are totally confusing and they almost impossible to read. Half the time I feel like I’m having no idea what I am doing or why I doing things, while following some basic tutorials.
The particle effects I am seeing on YouTube and the Tutorial Results are pretty impressive but I have absolutely no Idea how people got so far.
I showed Niagara my colleagues in the office (Cinema4D and Houdini Artists) and they told me to f*** off 
Sorry for being so harsh, I really don’t mean do insult the developers and UX designers, but I just wanted to share this and I am curious about the other users experience.
If am totally wrong, I would be happy to hear your thoughts and if possible, pls share some links which truly explain how things work. 
Thanks
Felix
