I would ask you please not to mix up two completely different topics

To be clear - Jonathan is implementing rearrangements of that floater
specified by the UI designers at the Lab; he's made suggestions and
refinements, but the design is ours. So, by all means share your
perspectives, or even continue to vent and rage if you feel the need,
but don't blame Jonathan.
In order to add controls for the presets that are at the core of this
change, we needed to make room in the graphics panel, and that lead to
the redesign.
It's also true that in the process we're reevaluating the usefulness of
some of the settings, including hiding some we don't think are useful
enough to justify inclusion and exposing others that we think are. Civil
well reasoned commentary informing those judgements are most welcome
(here, by preference). We have read and considered the feedback in the
issue, and significant changes have been made as a result. It is not
inconcievable that we'll make more changes as more people give this
feature a try.
When discussing any change, please bear in mind that all UI decisions
are to some extent a matter of taste and individual judgement. We have a
style that we prefer, and it's actually not the end of the world if that
isn't the style you prefer. I'm neither surprised nor distressed by the
fact that some of you disagree with the choices we're making; indeed, I
consider the chances of getting unanimous support for any UI change at
all to be zero. We welcome your perspectives, and really do consider
them. However, accept this friendly advice - in this, as in most
discourse, hyperbolic language like "nightmare", "horrible", and even
"hate" do not make your case more persuasive.
Fortunately, most of you objecting are quite capable of creating UI
replacements of your own and won't have to suffer for too long with ours.
