Probably this is very subjective, but:
For me, the most important parts/feature of the current Qubes Manager
are (in order of importance):
- - Full overview of the state of the VMs in ONE screen, without clicking.
The new widget is failing on this badly, just as your proposal.
- - Changing the NetVM of a given VM.
Mainly because I always starting DispVMs without net access.
And even the current solution is far from comfortable:
(VM settings -> NetVM selection -> OK
instead of a simple "oneclick" NetVM selection)
- - Starting programs from a given VM.
Yes the "start menu" is nice, but sometime it is just more powerful to
type directly what I want. Especially on an already started dispVM
- - start/stop VMs
- - attaching/detaching devices.
- - reading VM logs.
Probably these are only my personal preferences. Hence I have no time
to write a new manager for the Qubes 4.x I just shared my use case.
Feel free to ignore them if you don't like 'em ;)
