- ddingus 11y agoI'm a practical person. The move to simplify UI has it's costs. This is one of them. Your point is entirely valid. But, there is a lot of momentum in the wrong directions right now too. This pendulum will swing again, and maybe we will once again value threaded discussion enough to put a more effective UI on it. One thing I've noticed is flat UI has impacted many aspects of online discussion. Many people don't even understand threaded, and moves to serve the "sweet spot" use cases are efficient, but they also take the good features away or do not deliver them to people ready or wanting to take advantage of them. Personally, I'll just find the flow that makes the most sense, employ it, move on, and hope for better times.
