Over the last four years, GitHub announcing a change or new feature has generally led to a worse experience, for me at least.

  One excellent update that comes to mind is their updated code search (2023) which can be super helpful and respects a solid grammar.

  Is this last update one of those worse experiences?

  The new issues and PR search, and new listings UI is great improvement. More functionality and more dense UI showing more things.
  Improvements to Projects have been really good. Personally, I find no need for external project management tools anymore.
  The issues and projects team(s?) have been cooking.

  One of the recent features I love the most is that they virtually the same color for symbol highlight and text selection. No visual feedback on double clicking a symbol to see if it is highlighted or not (and it sometimes isn't, because they managed to break that too!). Cannot highlight part of the word that happens to be a symbol either. What a lovely feature. It shows that they are not using the product much anymore.
