    What I'm taking from this is that no one is happy about anything, ever. New design is fine. Old design is fine. I just want to search for an app and find that app, which is mostly what happens.

    I appreciate all the hard work that goes into F-Droid <3

      This. But I indeed see some interesting features for me like better exploration and the difference between the list of updates apps and new apps.

      It is really disappointing how much critique it gets, people complaining about stuff that has been bad for 15 years, but apparently the same people who were annoyed by it never contributed to fix it. I guess open source mentality is something else.

      Also: while it is released, it is not yet marked as recommended. So I needed to upgrade manually. I assume they do this to get some feedback from early adopters. So I think people should either just wait or contribute.
