I'll be very frustrated if ANY functionality is lost, and slightly disappointed if no new features are included (or at least fix the broken features today such as the SDC pricing hitch works fine on the app).
Indeed, the number one news site has the most primitive design with no graphics, and has remained unchanged for over 18 years. It has only text lines for the links and typically a few photos among the dozens of text lines. Yet, it is the most visited and effective site on the web.

I like the current UA site's functionality and simplicity. Please keep it the same and just fix the bugs in the programs.
