 Replying to [ticket:47124 afercia]:
 > Finally, the tabbed interface was removed in WordPress 3.8 in [26141],
 with the THX redesign, see #25948. However, the link in the admin menu
 wasn't restored. I'm pretty sure this was considered at that time, but I
 couldn't find any related discussion to point to.

 I'm not so sure that is was considered, could just be an oversight :)

 > Today, the lack of and "Add New" link is inconsistent with other menu
 sections. For example, I'm not sure why the Plugins section does need an
 "Add New" link and the Themes section doesn't.

 I think part of the problem is that there is no Themes section as such (on
 single site), it's called Appearance, which makes it inconsistent with
 other admin menu sections (as previously mentioned in
 comment:22:ticket:43697).

 To me, an "Appearance → Add New" item sounds a bit weird (Add new what?
 New appearance?). Maybe it should be "Appearance → Add New Theme", similar
 to what it was in WordPress 2.9? That would make the item name a bit
 inconsistent with other "Add New" links, but should hopefully bring some
 clarity.
