Hi Utkarsh, I was wondering if there is a way to contribute to ParaView in terms of UI design and features propositions. I would really like to see ParaView evolve not just in term of performance/capabilities, but also in usability.
I understand the requirements are often aligned with performance and bug fixes, but maybe to see an actual UI design proposition would convince your customers and contributors to go forward with a redesign. I could definitely help in making that ParaView UI 2.0 proposition, and I am sure other users would too.

The pipeline browser hasn't been updated since early ParaView 3.0 days, I'd guess a 2009. It surely can be made better. In the end, it boils down to the need and time availability. Since it works well for 80/90% of the cases, we (and our customers and contributors) often end up prioritizing other features and bug fixes. We do offer various consulting options<https://www.kitware.com/what-we-offer/#consulting>, if you're keen on getting it updated 😊.

As a user, especially with a complex tree, I found this unpractical. I have the reflex when searching for a filter to scroll down if the filters is "afterward". I do prefer the GitTree representation of ParaViewWeb. My opinion is that a GitTree could be the optimal representation of the pipeline. The GitKraken GitTree could be a good inspiration for a redesigned pipeline browser 😊.

It can be interpreted as "ProgrammableFilter1" can be found somewhere on the main trunk.
