Right.
That's why, more often than not, I used to have a Design Tradeoff matrix*, indicating which is the better (or best of three or more) solution. While there was not necessarily a consensus on how that Matrix was filled, it kind of justified why a solution was chosen.
* Also called Pugh Matrix.

I started using Azure about 4 years ago and resisted the new portal at first as I preferred the one I was used to. I've now forgotten what the old one was like. 
I think my customers would complain if I adopted that style of interface.

That complaint was posted in 2014. Is it still relevant to what you use today?

Yeah, you see the latest hate comment there is dated February 7, 2019.

You can always find a few people to hate anything.

It does the job and it's fairly intuitive.
That said, some things could be better.
Like the side scrolling of blades.
Sometimes a blade fills the screen, other times it doesn't, sometimes the same blade.
There are a few different UIs for the same thing.
It's not all sunshine.
But I'm still a big fan of Azure

hmm, you have any quick thoughts about how it could be done better?

 same here.
I feel, when MS or any other company/team put it a lot of effort in designing something usable, they deserve some applause.
I can tell you who are not liking the designs - The type of people that never like change

Consistency is key.
And perhaps get rid of the side scrolling blades.
No one likes horizontal scrolling.
I don't think people scroll back to the left ON PURPOSE, but yet they do.

thanks . Yeah long horizontal scroll hurts eyes.
And as I observe, For the number of Horizontal columns, when it grows more than 3, Azure portal jumps to Bread-crumbs UI. And focus only on the current new Columns that needs focus.
I guess it's wise than letting the user see all the pile of collapsed column frames.

For the last week when reading the forum, Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Down have both taken me to the top post in the lounge, and Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Up do nothing.
I am getting mightily tired of clicking through every post, but before I go to Suggsnbugs I thought I would check here first.
Am I being obtuse, with an easy fix, or should I throw away my laptop and close down the internet?

That would definitely solve the problem!
