Questionable changes in Release 61

Hey all, am I the only one really unhappy with changes introduced by Release 61? https://capacities.io/whats-new/release-61#object-info-sidebar-deprecatedSeriously, I see a lot of really bad decisions which I think were never actually requested by the community like that, so let me quote from the release notes: 1. "Text stats and created-at info have moved into the object menu"

Why the heck would you move this quick glance information into a 2-level deep hover-only navigation that even closes on click? This is terrible UX🫣

2. ***"Document outline is now a single-purpose floating element"***Seriously, why? Why?? Putting essential document navigation like a TOC into a "floating" panel might be "modern" - but why would you remove the option to pin it, which was there for soo long??

3. ***"Objects inside can now be found in a dedicated section in the new sidepanel"***Yeah....wow, great, making things worse: it now takes an entire desktop screen height to show all references, while the look before made everything look concise and easy to skim.

At this point, I am seriously wondering how the quite big design / UI / layout changes in 61 were justified? It is just my impression but it seems kinda random. I would like to see those things fixed because they break with what capacities used to be in terms of efficiency (!).
