If only we could plug in the gerrit back-end (via API) to the phabricator front-end. Phabricator has a much better diff viewer and commenting system. Gerrit is superior in many ways but the UI is so terrible it's not even funny.

Not really, since gerrit is a google owned project, and google supports most browsers, it is unlikely that Internet Explorer will never be unsupported in google projects unless no one uses ie or Microsoft drops all support for Internet Explorer.

Isn't Gerrit more for developers who as a consequence anyway run multiple browsers and therefore do not care so much that it does not support Ie? On Sep 26, 2016 20:14, "Paladox" thomasmulhall410@yahoo.com wrote:
There new skin called polygerrit fixes all the issues described here. It is moving along greatly but it doesn't support all browsers yet, namely Internet Explorer due to polygerrit using es6 and internet explorer does not support es6. They are going to something in the q2 of next year work on internet explorer support, hopefully it will make it into gerrit 2.14, 2.15, and hopefully we will still be using gerrit then and update it and also hopefully polygerrit will have added all the missing features. Polygerrit is very responsive as I tried this on my mobile (iPhone) and it worked.

I try to familiarize myself with Gerrit which is not a good example for user-friendly interface. I noticed a letter B in the upper right corner of the screen, and I suspected it could be a portion of my login name. So I looked at it in
HTML

window
as attached.
So did somebody perhaps wire the size of a 25" monitor into page
rendering?
My computer is a Samsung notebook.
In T38471 I complained that the old version was too wide at 1163px (for my dashboard on a random day). Now the new version is 1520px. I'm not sure if the Gerrit folks are serious or are trolling us. Perhaps it is a tactic to encourage UI code contributions?
My suspicion is that the Gerrit folks (in particular, Shawn Pierce) aren't so much trolling us as saying "stop relying on the UI of Gerrit! That's not the point!" The last time I was paying close attention to this, Gerrit upstream seems to be particularly focused on building code review features suitable for:
- Incorporation into git upstream
- Integrated into development UIs like Eclipse
The strategy seems to be "Gerrit is a reference implementation of a code review UI for Git". I haven't paid close enough attention to either Gerrit upstream or Git upstream to know if the Gerrit core contributors have made progress in getting code review functionality added to Git core (or if they've given up, or if I completely misunderstood their strategy). I'm guessing that Eclipse has pretty good Gerrit support, but I rarely play with Eclipse, so that's just a guess based on the Eclipse Foundation's involvement with Gerrit.
As bd808 noted, Gerrit upstream seems to be working on yet another UI, which would make sense if their goal is to create a variety of compatible implementations of advanced Git functionality.
