new web portfolio page - initial reaction

I like the new portfolio functionality very much.  I'm puzzled by the negative reactions.  I haven't used it very much obviously yet.  But the one exception ... a lack of feature so bad where I almost think i must be making a user error:


Like with many brokerages... the portfolio page should have rows of tickers with average purchase price, average gain/loss percentage, and then sum gain and loss from all lots.  Simply said, there should be one line per ticker, and then when you want to see the lot detail, you drill in.

With this design I will not put in my lots because I don't want to see them, unless I do.

Yes, I could build similar functionality in my own spreadsheet ... aggregating the many accounts I have.  But this is convenient enough that I imagine using the SA portfolio function instead.
