    A lot of people seem to be complaining, but the last iteration had Copilot at the top and then a "Feed" of what other people were doing.

    This seems to push your issues and pull requests as the main items of the page, and that's significantly better.

      Maybe we aren't at the bottom of the pile of trash, but we are still in a pile of trash. It's a page that, objectively speaking, doesn't work like it says it does. Things simply do not work. This isn't a "I don't like it" problem. This is the page literally says one thing and does the opposite.

      And yes, it "seems" to push your issues and PRs as the main items of the page. Keyword there is seems. Nothing on that new page helps me work on the projects I'm working on. But there is a PR I opened for my project back in Jan still open on that page? And more importantly, no way to resolve it from that page?

      No real developer designed this. It's trash. Maybe not the bottom of the heap, but it's still trash. I'd be ashamed to put this out.

      It still does. And for some reason, when you start typing, you aren't typing in that chatbox. Instead... you start typing in search even though search has a / to type there.

      It's bad. It's really bad. And so much wasted space. I'm sorry, but expect some level of quality. Don't just accept trash that literally doesn't work.
