LOL, so far I've always smiled a bit (condescendingly) when
people referred to Wednesdays and other updates as downgrades
but with this part of the interface I'll actually agree to
using this word.  Until today I've heard about the communication
window just from forum and comments and thought it won't be
that bad ... but I must say it is bad.

There are things which I like (treating the chat (near me) the
same as an IM, but I have no idea what the reasoning is behind
putting the contacts in that window.  But the rest is just looks
borked and cluttered (this may be just me however, with my own
software I have spent days aligning options dialogs down to the
pixel).  To me it just looks like an explosion in the gui element
factory.
