For instance, having many thin separators between windows is an outdated approach to UI design.

Out of curiosity, what is the issue with this approach? Is it entirely stylistic or does it introduce functional problems and if so what are the more modern solutions to those problems?

mess

for someone with so much design experience, you should understand that presenting a massive clot of text like this makes it extremely tedious to read.

You mean a post consisting of paragraphs containing 2-4 sentences each? I'm not sure I agree with the post's conclusions but calling its text a "mess" seems like a weird criticism.

Consolidation and simplification are the keys!

I'm pretty sure the only node anyone actually needs is an Attribute Wrangle. That would certainly simplify the network UI, although it probably wouldn't make Houdini much easier to use.

I opened a ticket about this at the end of November. Even though it isn't listed in the help the flag is: /SideFXLabs=Yes
I haven't checked the daily builds since then, but they were going to update the documentation to include it.
