"* The vertical layout doesn't really make sense to me.

    * Displays are typically landscape, not portrait. This layout is going
to cause unecessary amounts of scrolling and doesn't take advantage of the
width of the display.

* Filtering just looks really unclear. Not a fan.

* The animation here isn't meaningful to me. It says "I'm opening a new
window" and then it doesn't. The swipe animation we had before made more
sense because it says "I'm changing context" and it gives the user a path
to follow back. Additionally, the swipe animation implies a multi-touch
gesture and I think it would make sense to have a consistent back/forward
swipe gesture in elementary future.

* At this point in the development cycle, we need to not introduce such
drastic changes that could introduce new problems. The focus should be on
stability, the time for new features and experimental was supposed to end
with feature freeze."
