Maybe. But it's going to take months for me to finally remember where to 
look for it now.

I had removed that years ago anyway. I hadn't even noticed it's hidden 
by default now.

Being able to configure which columns show up isn't exactly an advanced 
feature. It's a basic function of the software. But now instead of being 
built-in, you have to install a special add-on to enable it again. 
Bloatware? Now I have to install a dozen poorly-supported 3rd-party 
add-ons just to get the functionality I should be getting out-of-the-box.
