I actually think you're going to see a lot of improvements coming down the line after the swap. Personally, I can't promote something unless I believe in it, and that's just not possible with the current chain and wallet. Once we're on this new chain and new wallet, we can start the actual work of integrating with use case participants.

Look, the last time anyone really worked on the old chain in any capacity was back in March of 2018. If anyone says "But May 2018...", you're an idiot. Updating a shell scripting file to do the setup differently is not a wallet update. There has been a full 16 months where NOTHING has been done on the old wallet, and no one is saying they're interested in doing anything with the old wallet.

This alone should make you question the credibility of anyone claiming the old chain and old wallet are doing great, but let's add some more fuel to the fire...

The minting panel is broke. If you generate an orphan, the stake input will disappear from the minting panel. Requires a wallet restart to see it again.

Pretty much anyone who upgrades their MacOS is screwed. Mojave isn't supported, and High Sierra barely worked as is. So bye bye Mac users...

Wallet starts are still slower than they should be, even with the improvements made in the past.

Memory consumption is ridiculous... 4+ GB minimum at this point to load a core.

Yeah, real great wallet you have there. Probably a good wallet at the time it was being maintained, but to expect it to remain good with no one working on it for 16 months is ridiculous.
