These are some of the many problems with the v2/3 UI... From day one, I
hated it. It looks like Playmobil toys with oversized, screen-estate
wasting elements all over with very little information density (making the
whole thing even more space-wasteful).

In comparison, the v1 UI is so much more "professional" and functional
that v2/3 viewers look like a (failed) caricature of a viewer...

If you want to see some high density and yet clear/logically organized/explicit
preferences layout, have a look at the Cool VL Viewer Preferences floater.

'nuff said.
