I tried to embrace change and accept this new interface, but I tried to use it in the same ways i'd use the old one and its simply not as functional in the ways I like. Its also much slower. I also echo others sentiments that there is a LOT of wasted space, as organized and clean as it looks.
The most egregious issue I've experienced is with filtering by date. Modding is very sensitive to updates. Updates are released on specific dates. I would consider it a critical feature to be able to find mods released or updated after a specific date, not just a set of fixed timelines.
Additionally, the "filter by updated" option is nearly useless. With that option enabled, it will display all mods that have ever been updated, not just updated recently, or updated since the last game update.
In this instance, the top results were last updated over 3 years ago. Before the 1.0 release of the game, or its subsequent DLC, all of which broke different mods. I do see that I can sort by 'last updated', but I'd prefer to sort by endorsements or downloads, then have a cutoff date for recently updated.
The search function has also been made more cumbersome. I already have a game selected, I want to search for mods for that game. I don't see why it should be defaulting to 'All Content'. It adds an extra click for me and everyone else for every search.
EDIT: I was critical without any positive comments, so here they are. I do feel like the new filter bar could have some excellent utility. I like that I can select multiple categories. Personally I'd prefer if the filter bar was on the right, but that is preference, not a complaint.
