That used to be easy, now not so much.

Why not?

Old UI:
1) Select script
2) Click add
3) Type the URL

New UI:
1) Select script
2) Click edit
3) Type the URL (and "// @include ")

The only possible difference is finding the right line, and in almost every script, that's a really obvious place.

Can you describe _why_ you think the new UI is harder to use?

The biggest problem is that if the script is updated, I have to save the script somewhere, open the existing script, copy the URLs to the new script, and only then install the new script (actually it will be: install the new script, wonder why it suddenly seems to have stopped working, complain to maintainer, get called a moron by maintainer because I'm expecting it to work on a page that isn't @included, remember I added the URL, recover old version of script from backup, copy all added URLs to new script. :-) )

It's also nice to be able to see the include and excludes without waiting for an editor to launch, and for the scripts I maintain, explaining to non-technical users how to add URLs and what to do when updating a script will now be much harder.
