In reply to Daniel Iser.

Daniel, I get you!
However, I gave feedback on various channels early on, Meta, Twitter, Blogs etc., took the survey(s) etc. One feedback/bug report that was totally solved, was the search functionality that was non-working turing some time period in the beta/preview version. For the other parts criticized I didn't noticed any general changes in the last weeks and months. And I checked regularly, on a weekly, even daily basis.

At one time however, I did gave up to give more feedback, as I felt - like many others - that they decided to not change the general direction any more. So why give more feedback, if nothing won't change, as it seems decided long time before?

Were I "only" a user myself, I may have arranged with this new "thing" somehow. Well, I still have lot of plugins as a developer/author in the directory, therefore I am directly effected and not only dislike the changes but even worse, see those new outfit as not helpful for users/developers alike in range of UI and UX. And it seems I am not the only one.

It feels a bit like in the past with WordPress 2.5+2.6 admin redesign: it was not good, or a "fail". With WP 2.7, 2.8 and onwards this was "corrected" and then it fitted again with the MAJORITY of the userbase. I hope for some such corrections here also. I still have some hope! :)
