The biggest thing I see, other than simple resistance to change, is that the new GUI is much more wasteful of screen space than the old one. Not everyone has a 4k monitor, and not everyone runs their browser windows at full-screen all the time. To be specific, there's way too much padding around entries in Pools, Disks, Snapshots, and Jails. Ditto for user and group accounts. And though you can adjust column widths to help a bit, those changes aren't persistent; next time you return to that page you'll need to adjust again.if you have specific things that need fixes please let us know.
I'm not particularly partisan for or against the new GUI (and 11.2's implementation of the "new GUI" is a good bit different from 11.3's), but this has been an issue ever since the new GUI was floated, it's been mentioned by many people, and there really doesn't seem to have been much improvement in this area. At least 11.3 adds scroll bars so it's a bit more obvious that there's more to the list than the user sees.
