Honestly, the UI feels much more modern than most other admin editors I’ve tried. It’s fast, doesn’t feel bloated, and does exactly what it says. What I like: The Addons system: I love that I can just toggle the Menu Editor or the Column Editor on/off independently. It keeps things very clean. Column Control: Being able to hide unnecessary columns in the Posts and Media lists is a lifesaver for cleaning up the workspace. Ease of use: Dragging and rearranging submenus is super smooth and intuitive. Regular Updates: From the very beginning, they have accepted feedbacks very positively and released feature updates and bug fixes regularly – a clear indication of another well-maintained plugin. A few things I’d love to see added: Export/Import: It would be great to be able to save my layout and “one-click” import it onto other sites I’m working on. Role-based columns: It would be even better if I could hide specific columns based on the user role (like hiding certain data from Editors but keeping it for Admins). Overall, it’s a solid 5-star plugin for anyone who hates a cluttered WordPress backend. Great job by the SoftTent team!
