I am glad I found this thread. I have struggled with the new GUI. I still use 6.5 because of it. I have tried and tried and the newer mixer screens are just so hard to dial in for me. The mixer channels are run together and don’t have as much visual separation, etc as they did before. I really wish they would stop messing with it or be able to customize it more. The 6.5 mixer to me is much easier to see, use just from a visual point of view. I know the more you use it the faster you can work, etc. But the constant changes for version to version is getting old. The mixer the heart of it for me, I need it to usually be consistent as much as it can be for mixing.
Look at this session between 6.5 and 10.5 on the same song, trying to get the same basic look and size. Buttons where laid out clearly on the mixer itself, phase, monitor, etc.
Cubase is my favorite DAW and I have no plans to leave but it needs a more user visually friendly mixer, etc to me.
