Why has Shopify's new user interface changed so drastically?

[Melbourneiloveu]

What on earth have  you done Shopify?

First you killed a great proudct in live view, its not a stinking pile of trash comparative to what it was.

Now you've trashed the thing we all look at most and control our stores from.

Please don't feel the need to justify over blown wages at your company by changing things that have worked well for years.

It is now a terrible product.

I have been thinking about switching over to another provider and this could be the kick i've needed.

I agree. The new admin page is a waste of space.

Most of us users are not computer geeks and just want something simple.

Bring back simple.

A get rid of new ideas that don't work. And those that think them up!

Not all new ideas are good ideas!

THIS IS A JOKE. SOMEONE WAS DRUNK WHEN THEY MADE THESE CHANGES.
