Do you have numbers to back up that idea?

I think there is a consensus on that. I don't like it very much as well,
and don't install them on my own buildbot installs.
I agree, and I was hoping that people who have a use of
waterfall/console/grid would jump in and provide alternate options or
enhancements.
Buildbot is a CI framework which is happy to accept any contribution that
is beneficial for the community. Please step up and write enhancements!

If I speak for myself, neither waterfall, console or grid views (eight or
nine version) do satisfy my needs/view for a CI system, because they are
fundamentally mono project, while all the CI system I have built are multi
projects/codebase.

slondono did manage to create its own grid view a few days after 0.9.5 was
out, and I think this is a good thing. If I can get the time, I would like
to make a live-coding screencast showing how to port it to angularJS, as I
think this is quite be done in a less than an hour video. I think this
could help people to see that angularJS is not that complicated.
