That UI may make some sense on mobile where a finger, which is bigger than a mouse pointer, must operate bigger controls comfortably; but on desktop? Nope, old interfaces win over "modern" ones any day.
For example, down that page there's a Transmission remote GUI screenshot (I use it as Transmission here is a daemon on my headless XigmaNAS server).
What would be wrong with it or anything similar? Every information is just there, no need to swipe left and right to read information that has been either hidden elsewhere or, worse, taken away.
The same applies to many "old" clients such as QBittorrent and others.
I understand that design is important, but it should never ever win over functionality.
Thank you for your comment, it seems that many users here would prefer a table view. It's true that when the cards are collapsed, some (configurable and orderable) information gets hidden, which is not ideal. However, in the meantime, I'm trying to maintain parity between the mobile and desktop versions.
When I mentioned the "old" interface, what I meant was that it may not be as attractive to newcomers. I understand that a UI can be old but perfectly functional.
