I strongly dislike Modern Ui nodes in Classic Mode

As a long time Knime user, I have built large workflows over the years. However, with the new releases, nodes now open as “Modern Ui” nodes. Not only do they take a long time to open, the Ui / Ux is worst. The range of the selection windows in column filter / renamer / joiner is very limiting.

I don’t quite understand why Knime needs a Modern Ui, the Classic Ui can be cleaned up a bit, but works very well for most.

It’s increasingly frustrating to make adjustments to workflows now as it is very time consuming. I manage a team of analysts using Knime and they have either downgraded or are learning new platforms to deliver projects on time. I hope this gets sorted soon.
