I agree, but with this caveat. Each radio mfr has developed their user 
interface over decades, and each is different from the other to varying 
degrees. In this century, I've owned Ten Tec, Kenwood, ICOM, and Yaesu. 
Before that, Hallicrafters, Hammerlund, Heathkit, Drake, and WII surplus 
gear.

My first Elecraft rig was a K2, bought used in 2003, and I upgraded to a 
K3 in 2008. User interface between those Elecraft radios, and then to 
the KX3, has maintained the same logic. In every case, RTFM, combined 
with understanding how radios work, has been all I've needed.
