Mar 25, 2014 at 22:09	comment	added	lily		+1. Just judging from your description of the change it sounds like the new UI is less efficient than the old one.

Mar 25, 2014 at 15:39	comment	added	Jason A.		@MattThrower Good to hear your thoughts on this. And yes I have seen hybrids search and scroll trees like you describe working very well.
Mar 25, 2014 at 9:14	comment	added	Bob Tway		Although I've accepted a different answer, there's a big point here made (by a commenter above too) that there's often a third way. In this instance we could keep the whole treeview but allow filtering with the text/dropdown. That should satisfy everyone.
Mar 25, 2014 at 8:03	comment	added	E. Rivera		Let's suppose that the solution IS better. What to do next if one feels forced to implement a worse, more implementation time-consuming solution? I always feel like handing the project to someone else than doing something I'm not convinced of and I'm not allowed to change. I think that the question is less about the particular case of whether the proposed solution is better, but what to do if it is but the client won't listen.
Mar 24, 2014 at 23:40	comment	added	Brilliand		Excellent point, though I think it fails to directly answer the question as asked. Perhaps you could use this example to make a more general point explicitly?
