[users at bb.net] Grid and Transposed Grid Views in buildbot nine?

Hi,

For buildbot 8, the grid view is a very commonly used view that users set
up.
While the buildbot 8 UI is not "modern" in terms of HTML, CSS, JavaScript,
etc.,
the layout and information it provides is useful.

In buildbot 9, waterfall view and console view are more "modern" from a web
technology perspective,
but in terms of the layout and information the provide,
they are actually worse than the views in buildbot 8.

So, yes, this is definitely a disincentive for buildbot 8 users to upgrade
to buildbot 9.

If the grid view and waterfall view could be made available in buildbot 9
with
equivalent features to the same views in buildbot 8, that would be a
definite improvement.
