Comment (by karmatosed):

 I did some testing on the latest patch and found a few things that feel
 hitches flow wise and potentially bugs.

 I still find the clicking and search icon to be a weird behaviour. I also
 feel it is either having a bug or issue with the flow. See this
 screencast:

 @celloexpressions the above I feel needs some work before we merge as it
 feels like a bug. Perhaps there is one, I was unsure as it felt weird to
 experience in the searching.

 I do really find the checkmarks weird used in so many different contexts.
 They seem to be used (I've brought this up a few times):
 - To show current item
 - To show success
 - To show a completed search
 All of this makes for a weird experience. I'd almost suggest removing some
 and limiting it to one context.

 @celloexpressions I still have a bug which you can see here where the
 endless install loop happens. Here is a gif showing both experiences and
 the endless loop install at end. I can only get out by clicking outside or
 refresh. This is on Sierra and Chrome.

 I worry a lot about times it takes for things to happen on install /
 preview and the experience. This may be something we can't fix in this
 iteration, but it's a real issue as shown in above gif.

 I do strongly feel we need to remove a button, this is a confusing UI with
 both. Beyond the double spinners, the install/install/preview text soup is
 hard to navigate.
