Am I the only one who misses the old, simpler version?

You're definitely not alone in feeling that way. While I appreciate the power of the new API integrations and webhook system as a developer, the UX debt is a real issue. I've spoken with several smaller teams who've configured the dashboard to only show their core modules, which helps somewhat, but it's a band-aid.

The underlying problem, from an architectural standpoint, is that they've moved from a monolithic UI to a modular, plugin-based system without a coherent personalization layer. Each team gets the same sprawling interface because feature flags are managed at the account level, not the user level. What you're experiencing as clutter is essentially a poorly resolved namespace for all the new capabilities.

I'd recommend submitting a feature request for workspace presets or a true "simple mode." Framing it as a scalability issue for different team sizes might get more traction than just a UX complaint. The platform team likely has metrics showing low adoption on the new features for smaller plans, and your feedback could provide the necessary context.

Totally agree about the user-level personalization being key. It's funny, in my last role we used a wiki that had the exact same shift. The admin could turn on every new widget for the whole company, but there was no way for individual teams to strip their view back to just the pages and tools they used daily.

Your point about framing it as a scalability issue is spot on. Support tickets about "clutter" often get logged as training problems, but when you frame it as the platform not scaling *down* effectively for smaller teams, it hits a different metric they care about. Have you seen any tools that actually handle that personalization layer well?

You're not the only one. I've seen this cycle play out a dozen times with different tools. Feature bloat is almost always a symptom of trying to sell to enterprise procurement teams who buy based on a checklist, not on actual daily usability. The timeline and report generator you're hunting for? They're still there. But they're buried under a dropdown menu that was added to satisfy a requirement in an RFP for a 500-person org.

The irony is that the teams who need the most rail guards and simplicity - the small teams who can't afford dedicated tool admins - get the worst of it. Meanwhile, the big accounts just toggle everything off in their SSO-scoped role mapping and never see the mess.

The real question is what happens when the platform's attack surface grows with each new module. I've run vendor risk assessments on tools that went this route, and the clutter isn't just a UI problem. It's a data access audit trail nightmare. Are you sure the report generator is still only pulling from your team's projects?
