Dashboards - HELP... PLEASE!

I'm a huge Wrike fan and sing its praises on a regular basis!

However, I'm not a fan of recent changes to Dashboards & Widget Functionality and sincerely hope the development team will give my thoughts consideration.

The Governing Factors for everything I'm sharing can be summed up as follows...

• MAXIMIZE REAL-ESTATE ON MY SCREEN & SIMPLICITY OF USE
• MINIMIZE CLICKS & KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO LEARN

Observations & Thoughts I Hope Wrike's Development Team Will Consider...

• What Governing Factors does the Wrike Dev Team use when making changes?  Has Wrike ever asked users what our Governing Factors are and used polls to get a quick read on what changes actually "upset our apple carts"?
• Didn't the dashboard format/design/layout (the part we can't control) use to have less wasted space above & beside widgets?  I would almost swear previous iterations were better.  The current iteration sure wastes a lot of space.
• Why is there no ability in the List Mode to turn off the status?  I realize it can be turned off in Table Mode, but Table Mode wastes even more space on my screen than List Mode.... even with Status Turned Off. 
• TRY THIS:  Create a dashboard with six (6) widgets in vertical mode, pack them full of tasks and look how much space is wasted by being forced to have the status on an item?  Look at how much space would be gained if that one field could be turned of in List Mode.  Tasks could literally be shown on ONE LINE... and... NO SPACE WOULD BE WASTED.

It sure would be thrilling, and would make my daily Life in Wrike SO MUCH BETTER, if these things came to be!

Thanks for your consideration!
