Comment (by hugobaeta):

 @jeremyfelt asked me look into this ticket as well, and overall my
 thoughts align with what's proposed here. Specifically the merging of the
 two fields (domain and path) in the Edit Site:

 It seems to make the most logic, and simplifies the UI a lot. As Jeremy
 mentioned above, I also have no idea what that checkbox for "Update
 siteurl and home as well" is there for. Any way we could remove it or is
 there a specific use-case where is makes sense to not select that option
 by default??

 The other side of this ticket is how we present the sites list table. The
 problem right now is that depending on what kind of install – sub-domain
 or sub-directory – we get a different UI for the table, and it gets too
 cluttered. My favorite solution is one stated above, where we'd only have
 a URL column (same for sub-domain or sub-directory), and to solve the URL
 breaking issue Jeremy stated above, one cool solution would be to only
 break the urls at "/", like so:

 [[Image(https://cldup.com/ZcpeUngi7Y.png)]]

 Notice how the second site breaks at the "/".  We could also make that
 column slightly wider, since it would be the primary coluumn.

 This change would make it very straight forward to understand what site it
 is, and would create parity when you go into “edit site” and see the URL
 input field match (the merged version above). No idea how this can be
 achieved technically, but that's the beauty of collaboration! :P  Even if
 we can't achieve that line break at the "/", just having the parity of URL
 between the table view and the edit site view would be a UX win IMO. What
 do y'all think?
