Why has the 'Find' screen for Family Tree been changed? It worked just fine before and wasn't broken. There was no need to re-design it.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    Short Answer: BECAUSE, they CAN ...

    Unfortunately ...

    Sadly ...

    I would humbly suggest, that we are ALL now STUCK, with the NEW "Find" feature/facility/function ...

    And, the PREVIOUS version of the "Find" feature/facility/function ... NEVER to RETURN...

    And ...

    It does appear, that 'FamilySearch', has decided to "Change" the 'look', of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', to appeal MORE to the "Younger" Generations; and, "Mobile" Devices, with SMALL screens.

    Of course, at the expense, of the "Older" Generations, using "Computers and the ORIGINAL "Computer" Web version, of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.

    The "Programmers", seem to be DRIVING, all the NEW "Changes" ...

    The Users/Patrons, are certainly NOT driving, ANY of the NEW "Changes"

    Unfortunately ...

    The Users/Patrons, DO NOT, seem to have a say, in the matter ...

    Obviously ...

    The (Younger) Programmers, seem to be bent, on "Change", just for the sake of "Change" ...

    [ And, obviously, of course, keeping up with NEW "Innovations", with "Coding" ... ]

    REGARDLESS of; and, RATHER than, the, WANTS; DESIRES; and, NEEDS, of the Users/Patrons ...

    [ Especially, the "Older" Generations, using "Computers and the ORIGINAL "Computer" Web version, of the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ... ]

    It appears, that such Users/Patrons, NO LONGER have any, say; or, sway, any more ...

    [ Especially, when it comes to, the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ... ]

    What an unfortunate development ...

    We are TOLD, that the, "Designers"; "Developers"; &, "Programmers", DO use "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'.

    But ...

    That Said ...

    One DOES have to wonder, about such ...
