I've been using it for years and was surprised to see a new version after a dacade.
After installing it, I was surprised to see that the immediate changes most noticeable to me were that the input box was unnecessarily doubled in size, enclosed in an unnecessary border, and surrounded by unnecessary dead space; and that there's now marked input lag that never existed in the original version.
I never had a single problem with 0.12 over the past ten years, and use it nearly every day -- no bugs, no missing features.
I appreciate the desire to improve and innovate, but you know, sometimes, software really is finished.
Personally, I like it. And there's also an option to go back to classic view for some things.
Does it fix the input lag?
Just FYI you can still download the older versions on their site
same, not a fan of the new icon tbh

That's never the case for any consumer app, the potential for improvement in UI is practically infinite. But also, just use the old version if it's finished, you don't need to upgrade?
(this app has plenty of bugs / missing issues just like everything else, for example, blurry text on some platforms)

If that's true, how do you explain the observable pattern of many consumer applications degrading in UI functionality and coherence after a certain point?

Exactly. I reverted to 0.12.

Well, that's easy: Bad choices. The better something is, the easier it is to change it in a way, that makes it worse.
I agree with GP, everything can be improved, but that doesn't mean that you will succeed, or that you should try, for various, separate reasons.
