For beginner users, the old style with the checklist was amazing. It said something, you clicked on it and it took you right to the setting. The colors and sections broke things down into more important and less important. It was so much easier to regular people to understand. And more importantly, if you forgot to check a box or something, you could see immediately on the checklist if it does done or not done. Meaning, the plugin checked your work for you!
Then the long list of settings on the separate page so that advanced users could speed scroll through and quickly set everything — it was great I could set up most sites in a minute or two.
Now everything is chopped up and divided, there is no useful checklist to show you if you missed something, you have to separately go into every single section and hope in the 20 some pages you don’t forget something, but you really have no way of knowing.
Being able to easily go through a checklist: useful, being able to have the site verify your checklist was completed: FAR MORE useful
