New workspace UI

Whoever came up with this new UI, where the workspaces are now in a tiny window and you have to scroll up and down a phone style list, should be immediately fired.   The old UI was perfect.

Hi - a lot of people are quite dissatisfied and disappointed with the new changes.  I really loved Edge's vision and features, but with the new changes, I am probably going back to Chrome.

The things I miss from the last release (please reimplement in a new version immediately!) are:

  • Workspaces listed in Favorites as hyperlinks:  I liked the fact that I could easily search through 52 workspaces and able to open up a specific workspace by clicking on the respective hyperlinked text.  With 52 workspaces, it is impossible to search and find and open a specific workspace I am interested in opening and working on.
    I am not sure why this was completely removed from the Favorites page.  I can still search and find the workspace, but I can't easily open it since it is no longer hyperlinked :( 
  • Manual sort. I liked the fact that I could display the Workspaces in any order I wanted to by simply grabbing and moving the workspace.  This allowed me to stay organized and list the workspaces based on my preferences and needs.
    The new update lists workspaces by `last opened` or ` last modified` which, while it is somewhat helpful, It is a pain .
  • Workspace name on the top-right corner.  I like that I can see the name of the workspace I am working on by checking the top-corner of the Edge window.  Unfortunately, this is not enabled on pinned workspaces so, If I have 2-3 pinned workspaces, I can't really easily see which one is open and what the other ones are by checking the top corner (there is no text displaying/showing the name of the workspace).
  • Sidebar has been completely retired in Windows Edge ... I really liked the value and having a sidebar for my favorite and frequent sites ... why did you remove this? FYI - it is still available on MAC. 

 

I have sent multiple feedback and ideas via Edge; however, it seems like all were ignored so far.  I am also disappointed by the fact that Microsoft Edge team does not improve their product(s) based on customer feedback or user feedback ... this is sad.

 

Thanks again!
