Thread:Extension talk:LiquidThreads/Why I hate LiquidThreads

Disclaimer: I'm sorry for the offensive subject. I try to be as constructive as I can.
 * 1) The whole idea of threaded messages is wrong. Look at how people use it: Everything is a single branch of messages going deeper and deeper. Everybody knows it's a stupid idea to put an answer somewhere in the middle of the thread and nobody does it. Nobody will see your answer there (20543). I know the current discussion style (using nested lists) in the Wikipedia projects has the same problem. The point is: LiquidThreads does not fix any of the problems we have with the current discussion style in the Wikipedia projects.
 * 2) It's a mess. Everything is scattered around millions and millions of tiny little sub-pages. Don't tell me this is an implementation detail and I don't have to care about. Why am I able to see this if I don't have to care about?
 * 3) There is no history. When I try to access a history all I get are useless single-entry lists like this.
 * 4) It's impossible to use without JavaScript. Sure, you are able to access the messages even with JavaScript disabled. But again it's a mess. You can't use it. It looks like a lazy AJAX experiment gone horribly wrong.
 * 5) It's so damn slow. Every click takes seconds. Often even without an AJAX spinner animation. And you have to click hundreds and hundreds of links.
 * 6) Nothing is shown in my watch list (20541).
 * 7) When I clicked "read" everything is gone from my new messages page. There is no way to go back to the latest discussions.
 * 8) I can't choose what I want to read first.
 * 9) When I unwatch a discussion it is not removed from my new messages page (21732).
 * 10) Editing a message (for example to fix a typo or to add something) is almost impossible. It gets messy very, very fast. The date of the message does not change so nobody will notice I added something. All I can do is to add a new message which makes the mess even more painful. Again, I know the current discussion style in the Wikipedia projects has the same problems. Again, LiquidThreads does not fix any of these problems.
 * 11) I hate the sliding jQuery animations. You are wasting my time! When I click something I want to see it. Now. A link entitled "more" should show more. It's not entitled "start fancy animation" (25039).
