replying to @AlcaeusF    This is the take-away from your post: "You, the user, can't, and no, no one other than other users (the "community") is listening."

The entire string--pages and pages of it--state exactly what the users need and why.  Someone at QBO need only forward this list to the developers to make us heard, and either (1) that hasn't happened, or (2) they don't care.  Neither is acceptable, neither is good business.

Making the Classic View a default choice for those of us who want it should not be a CHOICE.  Or, get rid of the Modern View entirely.  It is a MISTAKE.
