Hi there, i have moved to other CMS systems some months ago as WP was going in a very annoying direction.
One of my clients insists having a WP site so i came back and the new plugin repo is a complete disaster to say the least. Luckily enough they added back number of active installs, version number and when it was last updated.

I really hope they will revert back to the tabs in the layout, as only a no-brainer can think that oversimplifying things will make WP easier to use. If so why not just show a banner and the name of the plugin and nothing else? Newbies can not read, so they do not need anything as complex as tabs or more than 8 characters... on the otherhand developers should just shutup because they are in minority and WP is not intended for them but for the users.

My only question is: Who does WP Core think will use WP in a year if they continue developing and argumenting like that?
