Regarding the UI: Both versions cover too many purposes and thats imho 
why both interfaces are not really nice and easy to use. What they do 
atm. is simple package and package dependency management on the one hand 
(that's what we actually need there) and many developer oriented 
features which should imho not be part of the EM by default (export, TER 
upload, Filemanagement, Database-Dumps,....).

If we had the time and manpower to do it, I'd suggest to get rid of both 
versions and setup a minimalistic EM which perfectly fullfills the 
package part and move all the other stuff out of the Core (e.g extdeveval).

But with the current manpower "situation", I'd go the pragmitic way to 
choose the EM which runs more stable atm. and even if I like some of the 
features within the new one, I've to say that the old one seems to be 
more stable for me (can't give any facts/numbers on that, just my 
impression).

Cheers,
Tolleiv
