Why can't we leave card view alone?

Question

I strongly dislike the changing of card view from actual card shapes, to a list. When this change was initially made, I contacted support about it and they said it was a fix for something. A coworker found the UX toggle to turn it back to cards, and I was overjoyed.

I knew the day would come when the toggle wouldn't work anymore, but as of this morning that appears to have happened and I am having a hard time giving it up.

So please, can someone explain why this is actually beneficial to me as a user of the platform? I know I'm probably in the minority (only one of my coworkers even uses card view), but this view is literally the only way I interact with my company's sprawling multi-board setup, and changing it is such a disappointment.

I'm honestly not using Trello this week now. I am writing my tasks down on a whiteboard to keep track. Otherwise, it slows down my productivity. I have too many project managers and clients to make sure every filter is working correctly.

Shannon, I completely agree! It doesn't even show equivalent information to the original card view so I'm pretty annoyed that this is supposed to be our replacement.

I am so annoyed by this feature change as well. I am already losing tasks assigned to me, even when trying to modify the filters. I was told this is the permanent view. Not a fan at all
