Oz, Henri does not seem to suggest going back to 1.23 code as much as the UI behavior ought to go back to the way 1.23 functioned. And rightfully so when it comes to ³That moronic side bar is its modal tools which impair productivity and user-friendliness...² As bluntly put as it is. This is a problem description. I¹ve seen that harsh criticism a dozen times in blogs and forums as well. If that requires us to do a wire frame for you to get that idea, please tell us so, but frankly we are talking about a global oop behavior for all panels as far I am concerned, and it shouldn¹t require you a complete description for that... Kirsten Lee Cinquetti is one who completely gets is when it comes to such modification of the v2 U, back to a more fluid 1.23 way. And there is a lot more to do, but she¹s headed in the right direction.
I understand blunt comments rubs you the wrong way, but the sidebar rubs us the wrong way in equal measures. It¹s the 1st major problem preventing me from even beginning to use viewer 2... as much as I¹d like to. I think addressing the hurdles that prevents people still on 1.23 to move to 2.0 before you get into ³Rapid, effective deployment of new features and functionality.² is the most urgent priority in my opinion. PS: Henri, Q acknowledged and explained what happened with V2 here http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8948405. That failure has little to do with developers as much a LL leaders who had a poor understanding when it comes to the SL interface as week as misdirected or flawed overall goals. Don¹t expect a: ³We fucked up² from them it¹s not going to happen. Some of those probably left LL anyway... But Q. Oz and Philip acknowledged it multiple times in their own measured comments. So let¹s put that criticism to rest, it only add to the fire.
