Am I the only one who hates the Kibana 7 UX changes (date picker, filters)? # Filters In Kibana 6 the next field automatically focused, which made entering filters really quick - I could even press ENTER to confirm the filter type: ![kibana6-filters](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/0/70f87cbfae63e2a7394f21233ec4ba4cd340f8af.gif) In Kibana 7 I need to explicitly click all the time: ![kibana7-filters](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/4/0454038381746b8edf313aa9dc8259bbf8a24841.gif) # Date pickers This is where it gets REALLY bad in my opinion ## Filtering a specific (absolute) date: ![kibana6-dates-absolute](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/f/7fb48c8f89e1f613b8690e0a39a272775278823d.gif) Now if I want to do the same in Kibana 7... ![kibana7-dates-absolute](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/1/610b6292d6460d67a56a703c49e3df3f78f2e71d.gif) This is just terrible. MANY more clicks, and even typing manually to get to the end of the date. Tae alternative (00:00:00 the next date) is slightly less awful, but still much more convoluted due to having to explicitly select at time. Honestly, how often do people even want to select a different date but keep the time? And having separate widgets for start/end date/time makes everything slower because now instead of having a single widget where you do everything, you need to open the start date widget, select the date/time, then open the end date widget, and the same there, plus fixing the time... ## Quick select Kibana 6 had many convenient options there; in 7 there's just a few, and then there's "recently used date range" which could be useful if it included only the relative/quick options, but getting all the absolute ranges in here as well? Not particularly useful! ---

Hello Adrian, No, you aren't the only Kibana user who has expressed this sentiment. Your best option would be to [create an issue or 2](https://github.com/elastic/eui/issues/new), or add comments to already existent issues [here](https://github.com/elastic/eui/search?q=EuiSuperDatePicker+is%3Aissue&type=issues). It's referred to internally as the `EuiSuperDatePicker`. Maybe you can help us make it more super? Regards, Aaron ---
