UI changes won't solve self-inflicted problems. If you're finding your weapons and armor inadequate and you're refusing to upgrade them because you could upgrade them more later or are using something that you lack the skill to use effectively because of how it looks, that's on you, and changing poisons in such a manner as to make them in effect just another weapon enchant just so that you can keep using your cool-looking but ineffective equipment is in my opinion a change that's harmful to the game.

Also, why aren't you upgrading your weapon? It's not like all the weapons in Skyrim are unique and irreplaceable masterworks the likes of which cannot be found anywhere in the world; most of them can be found by the armload in any dungeon with the right type of enemies or crafted in quantities limited only by your patience and the resources you have at hand.
