Oldui partitioning visually took up more than 1/2 of the screen, and this same information is compressed into 10% of my screen while not conveying the resulting partitioning. Oldui's modal dialog containing the details of each partition (file system, size, label) was 10% of the screen real estate, and is now greater than 50% and no longer modal. The result is a shift of available space, and hence emphasis, on details rather than big picture. And I think it's increasingly clear that most users need more big picture, than a huge amount of estate reserved for details. Also, newui is becoming increasingly wordy, with excessive amounts of text to explain things, which again emphasizes detail over big picture.
