I have learned where are the things I need most often. I like how it compresses so I can use more of my screen for zooming. Three coluns can get quite crowded at the zoom levels I need. This results in overlapping and illegible columns. Two columns is more manageable. I also use Firefox's tab add-ons so I can keep a window with all my most used blog pages open at all times. In that window, I have the main dashboard page, the posts page, the stats page and usually a draft post open, reducing the need to navigate. I don’t mind the vertical navigation bar too much.

I haven’t converted my personal blogs to WP 2.7 yet, but I built two new blogs with it on wordpress.com which were given as Christmas presents.. I’m at the phase of stumbling into new features in WP 2.7. Do you like the dashboard’s vertical navigation in left sidebar (vs. horizontal nav across the top in older versions)? I don’t like having to scroll down to find what I need; scrolling (as opposed to a flaneur’s strolling) is not one of my talents. Thanks for tracking these issues, Tim.
