The legacy appearance has done so well for the length of time it was active after the retirement of Monaco. Fandom has grown so much since its early days, and I still don't understand why we need to change something that isn't broken.

Not all sites get a makeover; sites like Wikipedia are almost exactly the same as they were a decade ago. If Fandom "likes" the old version and the users like the old version too (universal approval for it), I don't see why Fandom should make an investment in finding something new if the current system works just fine.

(Also, I don't think there's anything wrong with using the outdated software, as long as Fandom sees more growth like it's been getting for the past decade, both in terms of userbase, content, and revenue).
