The new Trello card layout is a terrible user experience. Splitting the description and comments into two columns makes it harder to work efficiently. The previous layout — with the description at the top and comments below — was much more intuitive and user-friendly. Please bring back the option to choose the card layout. Trello used to be simple and functional – now it’s becoming unnecessarily complicated.

Hi @Iwona Pycyk 

I've criticized (and continue to do so) many aspects of the new look. The new backend isn't nearly what I'd like, but on this specific point you're mentioning, I sincerely believe it's better.

I've insisted in several threads how brilliant it would be if the interface were configurable by each user. The team has responded that this isn't planned for Trello anytime soon.

For those of us with many custom fields, activity and comments were hidden at the bottom, forcing us to constantly scroll the mouse wheel to view and interact with them. Now we don't have to do that. I would have liked the middle of the card to not shift to the left to center both open panels, as I would have liked many other things as well.

Hopefully, at some point they'll realize that a configurable interface, like so many programs have, is the best solution for creating a program with great potential, adaptable to all types of users.

Best regards.

I love the idea movable/configurable cardback sections.  For sure the side activities and comments section is a step in the right direction

Yes, it is terrible. It hides all the action buttons. There is no split bar to let user to adjust the left/right panel size. IMO, the right panel (comments and history) should be wider.
