- dotancohen 4y agoI've been using the new UI. I have no sentiments towards the old UI. But the new UI is horrible. For one thing, there is no distinction between the gutter and the editor - it just looks like your code has an extra level of indentation, especially in languages for which almost the entire file is a single class, so all the business code is already two levels deep of indention. And when the cursor is at the first of last line of a file, there is no visual indication that this is the end - the UI outside the editor looks like the UI inside the editor and the single pixel border is flush with the highlighted cursor line and the same color. There are lots of little paperclips like this. I'm sure that I could adjust the colors of the theme (I use the dark theme) to address some of them. But by any measure everything related to the UI is either comparable or worse that the legacy UI - I've searched in vain for anything actually better in the new UI. Happy to answer any questions or check anything specific.
