New Web Layout is counter productive

[DanGav 4]

Just my two cents.

This new slick look ... LOOKS really nice.  But is counter productive.  Rather than hiding the hierarchy of Notebooks, Tags, et al ... why not just have a note window pop-out if you want to save space?  Slidey side panels look cool, but like many cool looking things are actually a pain in the ass ... I don't want to have to wait to click on a given note, notebook, tag or other element ... and I want to be able to navigate QUICKLY.  This new design is expressly against that.  And please don't tell me I'd get faster as I get use to it - by the very nature of the UI mechanism you use you could never be as fast as the old layout where everything is just there open and accessible.

I hope you are never going to retire the old layout?? Are you?

The old layout is unavailable to new Evernote accounts, last time I checked. I wouldn't bet that they're planning on making any further changes (i.e. improvements) to it, at the least. Obviously they will retire the old one someday. What, you'll still want to use it in 20 years?

I like the new layout, however I miss dragging and dropping notes into notebooks. I've found that sometimes I've switched to the old one to do a few tasks.

Evernote Web developments - this may explain recent apparent lack of movement. 

Apparently we should expect new features early next year... https://blog.evernote.com/tech/2016/10/17/bringing-micro-services-to-the-client-side-project-ion-and-micro-components
