18. DU4 is fine by me.

I've been using it in default mode, and it's just fine as far as I'm concerned. At first I wasn't crazy about having to click "My Stuff" before I could see my subscriptions and my posts, but I'm used to it now, and the more I use the "My Stuff" and "Navigate" panels, the better I like how things are displayed in them.

So yeah, DU4 is working out just great for me. When it first went live, I was surprised by all the negative comments snd sorry to see how much trouble some people were having with it. I hope things have improved by now for most DUers and will continue to improve for the rest.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make everyone feel as happy and comfortable with DU4 as I am, because it honestly has some great new capabilities that I really find to be improvements.
