Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 A few specific things I don't like about the old process:

 * No check-boxes are checked by default. I'm a dummy and almost always
 click the button without checking any boxes at least once. It's the only
 thing I'm there to do, and the default action doesn't do anything without
 additional interaction. I think we should make users uncheck what they
 aren't ready for, instead of checking what they are.
 * Once the update request is sent off, there's a long period of time where
 there's literally nothing displayed to the user at all. I think this is a
 great place for a progress bar to show that the process is still alive.
 * Once the requested updates are complete, the details of each
 plugin/theme that were updated are just paragraphs of text underneath a
 bunch of notices. It's not great looking, and seems like the wrong UI
 elements in the wrong places. There's a lot we can do to make this better,
 and lots of good examples in the wild to be inspired by.
