View submission: Is toolbox still useful?
That's fair. From my standpoint it's more like, "New Reddit is *already good enough*, does this extension add enough major features on top of that to justify going to the trouble of installing one more browser extension?"
It's not "almost" good enough. It works great and I'm happy with it. That doesn't mean there's not something even better out there that might make my life easier, which is why I thought it was worth getting more info about this when I heard it recommended during Mod World.
So far it sounds like it's a good tool for people who either don't want to update from Old Reddit or who are unsatisfied with the official implementation of these tools and want more flexible versions. Thank you for the information.

Yeah, I have been a toolbox user for years and from my experience it's invaluable. First, many of the things new reddit are implementing came from here. Second is that, from my experience - and I could be biased because I am more familiar with toolbox - the implementation is much nicer and easier with toolbox. the integration and customizable capabilities are really good. Eventually they'll do away with old.reddit and the toolbox. I am hoping by that point reddit has a team that listens to what the community needs and provides that innovation instead of just copying the old community driven innovations and saying 'look at what we've given you". So far I haven't seem them offer anything new or better that's made me think "I need to switch".
