The affordances of the current UI design aren't as obvious as those of
the 2012 UI. I think it assumes some moderately-sophisticated "GUI user
experience" on the part of the user.
I also think it's still in transition, so I expect it will keep changing
for awhile.
I hope someday to see the GL/Fast Panorama view as the one main window,
with an (optional) menu bar along the top to make access obvious (the
way the present tabs do), but also making extensive use of
right-clicking on elements within the view to access specifics. But I've
liked graphic apps without minimalistic UIs ever since I met Targa TIPS
25 years ago ...

I’ve been observing for many years the dynamics regarding the interface
design choices as they are discussed here. They are almost as
fascinating as the program itself. Hugin’s current state is that of a
split personality. One centers about the traditional interface. The
other centers about the GL or Fast Panorama window.
Do not forget that there are right click (control click) options at many
locations. As far as I can tell that is the only way to delete an image.
Right click on an image or images in the Photos section of the
traditional interface window.
The Stitcher is still there, but not when the interface selection is set
to Simple. The Simple interface shows only the GL window. Set the
interface to Advanced or Expert. Do this at the OS X top menu bar.

I have been using hugin successfully for many years on my Mac,
currently latest version of OSX, but not for the past 6 months. I
casually follow the postings, but nothing I've noticed has suggested
that I couldn't efficiently arrive at an adequate stitch. I trusted in
error that it was OK to delete my 2012 version.
I downloaded 2013 final and 2014 beta. Both share the following
serious flaws:
1. Cannot use the gui to delete an image after it has been loaded. The
option to delete an image file has got to be part of any final package.
2. The assistant via the fast preview gui works, sort of OK, although
the default leaves the output image cropped very small; easily
remedied by changing the crop, and I do get an adequate stitch.
but
When I load images from what was once the main window gui, the
resultant panorama does not show up in the fast preview window, and I
cannot proceed to stitching via the stich gui.
It appears clear that a lot of work was done to make the assistant
work, but at least as far as I can see, the former functionality of
what was once done via the main window has been lost.
Short of a very simple fix I will go back to hugin 2012.
