Modern vs. Classic: which FluentCleaner do you actually run?

[Belim]

Both versions are sticking around, I'm just trying to figure out where to put the extra hours going forward.

Same scan engine, same database, different runtime underneath. Curious which one actually ended up on your machine, and why.

I wish a modern look while also having a smaller package size and less memory costs.

I prefer portable versions, no matter classic or modern UI.

WinUI waste screen space with too much padding.

The WinUI 3 version feels less efficient than the Win32 version, with way too much whitespace for mouse and keyboard users. Also, since everything is collapsed by default, you can't view the full tree and jump to sub-options like in Win32—you have to click through them one by one.

I use the Winget version because I use it on my PC and not really the portable way. Winget is having only WinUI 3 so that's the one I use, it honestly looks better but without Winget, I'd go with the package size argument

Modern looks like the flavor of the week. Popular this week, out of style next week. The fact is that it's a TREMENDOUS waste of screen space, and terribly inefficient. Classic!!

Classic is much more useful and looks much better - I don't like the idea with hundreds of collapsed categories in the left side - it's so annoyng to expand every category. In classic you can see everything immediately.

Who is the Neanderthal who prefer the old UI? Is good for the footprint, but my eyes want cry.

I'll stick with the Modern version—it's much more consistent with the look and feel of Windows 11. It also includes AI support for creating new cleaners, which the Classic version doesn't offer. In any case, the Classic version reminds me too much of the old CCleaner.
