Some people like seeing the funny number go down. And it convinces people that FSRS is doing something other than voodoo magic.
But aside from that, is there really a reason to keep “Evaluate” or should it be removed?
Are you saying it’s useless in deciding if creating a separate preset is good or bad?
Good catch, I forgot about that. Yes, you can use Evaluate for that.
How so. I dont understand
No, it’s not necessary now. @Aleksej
Clone your presets and and click Optimise, if you get new parameters you’re better off, otherwise just discard the changes.
Also, I’m not going to vote as I don’t have any strong opinions, plus there are better things to remove if we want to simplify UI (historical retention e.g).
But how much better?
Creating a new preset is an additional difficulty. I’d like to see if it’s worth it or not.
An example of usage. FSRS 5 is less accurate than FSRS 4.5 for me. If there was no “Evaluate”, I would not have found out about it.
This is a good enough reason. In the scope of Anki – FSRS is still brand new technology. If you want more people to believe in and/or trust it, you need to give them a path to that.
[The second best reason is that for helpers, it’s the fastest way to tell if a user is reporting something that could be an actual issue with FSRS, or just complaining about how different it is.]
