Used to Rule, now it drools

I used to use this and was quite happy with it. But, it seems that someone lost their mind and destroyed everything about the project that I liked. In particular, I can’t stand the new style (or lack thereof); looks like poo. Previous versions inherited the WordPress style and looked seamless. Previous versions were simple and straightforward. Yeah, the new version has more bells and whistles now, but it looks like crap and is no longer elegant – the appropriate goal (IMHO) of any successful plugin. Why couldn’t they have added new functionality without robbing existing users of what they currently had (and liked)!
