Thoughts on New Wordpress Admin Interface

I noticed that Wordpress 2.7 beta 3 was released (I was on 2.6), and decided to give it a go. What I didn’t realize is that the Wordpress administration interface is completely different. After spending a few minutes with it, I have to say that I really like it. It’s extremely easy to navigate and with the Google Gears Firefox plug-in installed, it’s extremely responsive. One feature that I like in particular is the ability to search the plug-ins repository via the administration interface. Makes looking for new plug-ins extremely fast and easy. Overall, I’m happy with it and excited that they decided to overhall the interface.
