I think you have a point that if you are looking strictly for cheapest domestic economy, and maybe comparing it to the domestic first price, then the new website works just fine, probably better than the old one. On the other hand, if you are looking for complex international itineraries, mix of business and economy, and looking for R upgrade space, it does not work as well as the old one. I use matrix ita and orbitz now, and then use the tampermonkey add-on to look for R space.
Someone mentioned Southwest, but they truly price each flight separately. But it is clear the UA website just assigns a number to a given flight based on what they want to charge you for the whole specific itinerary. Which is why it may quote you $2000 for a one hour connecting economy flight from CDG to Zurich.
