Well I just had a go at searching Digikey.ca. What an unusable fuxored mess.
Yeah, I don't see any advantages to the new setup. It is certainly slower and less usable here. Having to select "More Filters" all the time is stupid, the display is so much less dense that it is super annoying to use, many searches seem to end up on the manufacturer landing page instead of the product you're searching for, etc. etc. Absolutely terrible. Dumb, dumb, dumb....
My question is, what was wrong with the old interface?
What couldn't they change or add to the existing, much more usable interface?
Also, if it WAS necessary for some reason (difficult to believe) then why, WHY re-invent the wheel without sufficient testing?!!
Just my $.02...
Digikey? Are you listening?!!Why you gotta make our lives more difficult
to your own detriment??!
Why?! WHY would you do this?!!
(... let me guess... corporate overlords?)
P.S. Fuck Beta!!
