Hello,  

I understand and once shared your frustrations with the new version (5.2) but the best thing to do to make it better is to contribute, either by code or by opening tickets with clear problem descriptions.

With 5.2 I suppose a lot of changes occurred under the hood which I hope will be good in he long run.
