The tree view allows both epub2 and epub3 to use almost identical approaches, prevents the shoehorning into a fixed table, allows flexible dates and etc. There really wasn't another approach that worked for both in a similar way as epub3 metadata is much more flexible.
Hope you get used to it.

There is one other main difference.
A tick mark if the identifier is assigned.
I would love to see some sort of highlight (bold) if the intensifier has been used. Currently, the best way is to open the OPF: Guide section
