Generally, I’m quite pleased with any UI handed to me. I liked the V2, V3, V3.4 progressions. But, with the latest CHUI update, I’m a bit less than pleased. (._.)
Now, I have been able to arrange my chat window layout as I like it; undocked local chat, and all. But, even undocked chat windows are children to the momma Conversations window. So, if I close one, the rest fall with it. Well… Not all the time. If I close it then press enter to chat locally, I get the local chat window back and solo this time. (O.o)
So, right away, it’s inconsistent. (T_T)
Also, CHUI has eaten the chat console. That lovely little chat bar with semi transparent text that fades away after a moment or two. I’m going to miss that. I liked having text on the screen long enough to read and absorb then self-clean it from my sight. Bye-bye chat console. (._.)
Also, I know vertical tabs is popular. But, not with me. DX
They crowd out the text. I don’t mind seeing fewer tabs. I want to see more text. Gladly, they can be reduced to icons. But, ew! I want full width text. (>_<)
Here’s my FS to LL comparisons… Attempting to keep the UI as much as I prefer as possible… (o.o)

At this point, I find nothing that I can’t get used to. But, there are some things I’ll miss. For now, I’ll drop FireStorm for a while and run LL’s latest and see if it’s crashy on me. (^_^)y
