While we're talking about this, I've been quite disappointed by the new GitHub file browser: the new features look neat, but the core file browsing experience is significantly worse for me because the new UI is much more complicat

It's amazing, isn't it? People care much more about seeing their favorite sports team win than about actually moving technology forward.

I assume the parent comment is talking about "thinking" (not that I have any personal experience with that).
