I think this is the gist of most of this discussion to be honest, it’s pretty much impossible to make something that fits everybody, or at least not without then making it also bleh to everybody. So we prefer to make it click really well with many at the cost of not being a great fit to some.
Having said that, the bullet vs dash discussion has been raised in various other discussions already, and as we have mentioned, it’s something we’ll offer a preference setting for at some point. It’s just that we haven’t gotten to it yet, and that other things have simply a higher priority at the moment (like localising the app to other languages and offering a sharing extension).
