Everyone seems excited about this change, but I have to unfortunately disagree: I really hate it.
What I really loved about the previous system with icons and pop ups was how fast I could apply changes - that was awesome kill feature: click, nice pop up appear in that place with options and bam! Sorting or filtering in fraction of seconds. Productivity over the roof. This ease and quickness gave Coda competitive advantage and “pro” outlook in my eyes. I really enjoyed working on the tables thanks to that.
Not anymore, which really saddens me. Why you are interrupting my focus and force me to unnecessary travel with my mouse through half of the screen (!) in search for option in the side panel? I am able to understand that you try achieve ui consistency with pushing more to the side panel, but this significantly worsen my experience of ACTUAL work. Maybe for someone using this option once to create a view it is fine but I work on data in tables on the table itself, so I change groups, sorting and filtering constantly - and going back and forth to the panel is not cool.
Not to mention I’m finding full label names instead of icons as less clear, but I guess it’s a matter of preference.
so, can I have the old one back, please?
