The new UI has a compact mode, I think you can get an even more compact UI than before. I've used thunderbird forever and I'm not lost at all. I think they did a really good job not breaking us.
I guess they can't please everyone but I don't know how they could have done better in this respect honestly.
- folmar 3y agoYes, the compact mode needs a bit of getting used to but is great in the end. A really nice makeover of the old view, even more compact.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoYes, could have been worse. There were several minor amateur moves however. The menu bar in the wrong place for example—not sure what they were thinking. Also hardcoded the highlight color to blue (on purpose), disrespecting the system UI theme. Same thing happened ~twenty years ago with firebug and I was happy to drop it for FF dev tools. Every few years a new batch of "senior" engineers needs to earn xp points.
