Change GitHub.TeamFoundation.16 version of TeamExplorerServices · Pull Request #2515 · github/VisualStudio

@daschult I find it incomplete compared to Team Explorer. Although Team Explorer could benefit from some improvements, many experienced developers, myself included, like the way it works on the whole.

I've only tried the new Git Experience a couple of times, because it was so hard to get anything done that I immediately had to switch back to using Team Explorer. Some features were even removed from Team Explorer which really annoyed me. The features in Team Explorer should not have been removed or changed in any way.

How are we expected to test your new window out when switching over to it means that we're expected to have to hunt all over Visual Studio to find "other ways" to do basic things that were all together in Team Explorer. Why does it always have to be so binary, one or the other? It would have been far easier if you just made the new window available, without crippling Team Explorer, and see how developers either used it or didn't use it.

I actually hope that Team Explorer will remain as an option and not be replaced by something that is dumbed down and makes us less productive. The recent trend of replacing features that just work with new "prettier" but less productive "new experiences" is annoying and completely flawed.

I guess I'm just getting sick of these "new experiences" being forced on us when they actually make professional developers less productive. Visual Studio is slowly being crippled by them (an unmodifiable new Start Window, a new search-based New Project dialog. and now the new "Git window").
