I use LogQL a fair amount. Often times even just negative filtering is quite useful.
I do a fair amount of tracking down of issues with LogQL. Looking for logs specific to a customer support ticket. Filtering for logs by a traceId for distributed traces.
I have serious doubts this new UI is something I will care about at all.
The explore ui for setting labels is atrocious and painful, and I'd rather just give me the text input for LogQL*
*: Please FFS someone fix the Ctrl+f creating a vscode like find dialog that only finds inside the text input. I never want to do a find specifically isolated to my LogQL

Quick update: that has been fixed and will be available in Grafana 11.1.
Also, the original Notepad++ is unabashedly native to Windows, with none of the limitations or expense of cross-platform toolkits like Qt. So it's lightweight and responsive even on lowest-specced boxes.
I use Notepad++ on Linux, ran the installer, works, it auto updates just like it did on Windows, WINE enables it to run just fine. I use it every day for small files like my TODO, Notes and Scrap files.
Jeez, it took me like a week just to program a usb hwmon temperature device for Linux
