What I provide my clients is ease of use with WordPress to effect changes with their Websites. Part of this process is for my clients to open WordPress and easily identify where they should go to enter content. This was done by having an easily identifiable menu icon and customized CPT fields so it was a no brainer where clients should go and what to do (see screenshot).
In my niche of custom designed WordPress website it gave me a competitive advantage over others because I used Types and Views to do this. It made selling my services easy. Most people don't care about all the technical mumbo jumbo that makes their website works, they just want to know it's easy to enter text and upload photos and everything just works. During an online presentation, they see Webvisuals emblem, matching colors and they quickly form an opinion that this is easy to use.
Having been a UI Designer for over 22 years working with a multitude of developers I can tell what has happening. There is no one who is a spokesperson for the end user. Not the person who develops the website using your tools, but the person, with limited technical knowledge, who is charged with maintaining the WP website long after the website has been built and launched. These decisions to remove user interface visual aids are being done by developers in a vacuum who strive for homogeneous display with other developers. I've seen it happen again and again.
Please Types and Views team allow us visual designers the ability to customize the WP admin tools so that we can separate ourselves from the thousands of WordPress website builders out there with the simple features of personalize menu icons and customized CPT fields.
It's not a big request, you use to offer this ability and for some unknown reason you removed it.
