Just saying people come here for a Classic EQ experience. And all these new fancy UI features are indeed, not classic, and will eventually get fixed.

Not everyone has the same definition of classic. To me classic is classic gameplay. XP loss, CR, no-PoK, no bazaar, no mercs, no instancing, no guild hall, no soulbinders, etc. Those things affect the community and feel of the server.
What UI someone uses, or what character models, makes no difference to that. So if that's classic to you, use an UI that works for you.
45Mbit always-on internet isn't classic. Should the devs throttle connections to a fluctuating 56k and add random disconnects to emulate the deaths caused by an incoming call disconnecting the dial-up in 1999? Server handling large groups without lag/crashes isn't classic. Should they make zones artificially lag when you have more than about 30 people engaging a raid boss? 4GHz quad cores aren't classic. Should they develop a custom OS that disables multi-cores and throttles CPU to 500MHz?
There's a lot of non-classic things that impact the game and there's things that impact gameplay a lot more which should be the focus of development - like mobs not running as often/fast as they should.
