Agreed. The current UI design could do with a major revamp, the constant
clicking is nothing but annoying. Many of my users have commented on how
annoying the interface is, not to mention the complaints I've received
about Firewall Rules and Port Forwards not being on the same screen. I
like the idea of a drop down menu or tree-based menu (like the tree in
CS 2.2.x).
Since 4.0.0 will be the first Apache release of CS, I wonder if a new UI
could be implemented? (hint, hint ... nudge, nudge) ;)
Cheers,
Matthew

I agree with John re the number of clicks required to get to things, it's gets
very tiring.

My US$0.02:
The animations look nice - especially when I was new to the product. When actually
trying to get things done, though, they just slow me down. In particular, what gets
annoying is when I have to click through several animations to get to a page, like
getting to a CS host (6 clicks) or getting to details on a virtual router (8 clicks). I
understand these aren't everyday tasks, but personally I'd prefer a "standard"
drop-down navigation that lets me just get to what I want.
