Hi Labsy2,
Need some clarification:
1) Is this referring to (what we internally call) "aggregation nodes" or "rollup nodes", when large number of VMs are rolled up into a single line? This threshold was increased from a way too low 20 to 100 VMs in vSphere 6.0, so that should be occuring less. This is a user-controllable setting you can tweak in webclient.properties as well: VSphere Web Client - Wikibooks, open books for an open world
In the new HTML5 based vSphere Client we have not implemented this. We are keeping an eye on performance to see whether a solution is needed at all.
If you're referring to something else please let me know. A screenshot would be helpful. Also I'm not sure what you're referring to for "MORE XY", can you clarify that?
2) We have made changes to the datastore browser in the new vSphere Client. If you've tried that one we're very interested to hear if those changes offer sufficient improvement, or not. 6.5.0b: First vSphere Client (HTML5) update in vSphere 6.5.0b! - VMware vSphere Blog or the Fling: vSphere HTML5 Web Client
3) I believe the removal was due to scaling issues, but we do have it on our plate to investigate how we can bring these types of views back. Can you tell us how many vSwitches you have in your environment in total?
