+1 for the reorg with the rename of “Users”  in “Users & Groups”. The new L&F 
is nice too.

0 for the collapsing part of the menu + the extra tabs. I don’t like them too 
much since they hide the subcategories and whereas before you could go to any 
admin section in one click you now need 2 or 3 clicks (provided you know what 
section you need to click as otherwise it’s a lot more clicks!).

So the proposal has a nicer L&F and the reorg is nice in general but I find it 
less usable than before on the navigation aspect. Said differently it replaces 
scrolling by hiding. Personally I was finding scrolling less an issue.

This could be alleviated in the future by an intelligent search suggest box 
that would index all content from all admin UI pages (in order to take into 
account the content in tabs).
