Got a sneak peek of the new changes to lists...

I had just gotten used to IMDb's new "advanced search" feature and, while I still prefer the old version, I do at least see where there are some advantages to it and could appreciate it in its own way.

However, today I checked out a sneak preview of the update to lists and... you have GOT to be kidding me with this. What is with this site's obsession with endless scrolling? How does that make editing large lists easier? What was wrong with dividing lists into pages? Are you saying that if I want to reach a specific spot on my list, I'll have to scroll through dozens of times instead of jumping straight to the page? Why can't I see the numbers of the entries while editing?

The list feature has gone through a dozen updates, many of them controversial, but at least I could somewhat follow the logic. Where is the logic in these changes exactly? Virtually all of them take things that were easy to do and make them significantly harder and more frustrating with no additional benefits to compensate. I highly recommend you walk back this update before you risk alienating a large amount of already annoyed users.

Change for the sake of change is pointless. Please listen to your users for once and don't "fix" something that isn't broken.
