Actually, in looking at some of my more cluttered notes that have too many tags, URL info, and other stuff previously appearing at the top, I will admit they look terribly cluttered in the old version (specially any information that disappears off screen, like too many tags), and more "pretty", less cluttered in the new version.
I also appreciate that Reminders are more clearly visible in the note.
But my request still stands: they need to all be in the same general part of the screen, even if they take extra lines like in the new version.
I have gradually learned more discipline in using fewer tags per note, after much trial and error, that helps with the clutter some.
