New flow run UI very cluttered
Describe the current behavior
The new web UI for flow runs is rather cluttered. Previously, we were able to select certain view (tasks, logs, artefacts, ...) in individual pages, whereas now everything needs to be searched for across a very cluttered page without much visual guidance.
Describe the proposed behavior
Cleaner separation of different views (e.g., a task page, a logs page, an artefacts page, an input parameters page, ...) which can be quickly reached via links / tabs directly – without having to search for this information amongst the very cluttered flow run page.

Additional context
Why is this important? Often I'm looking for a list of tasks to get an overview over what's happening in my flow. I know have to apply specific filters in the UI to reduce the clutter, whereas before I could simply go to the "tasks" tab. Same for artefacts, which requires me to now scroll through a long list of information I don't need at that moment. The amount of text / information in both columns is waaaay to large and navigating to the data I'm actually interested in takes me much longer than just clicking on the correct tab in the old UI.
I see why this UI might be nice on a dashboard on very large screens but in my personal experience it performs very subpar when you're actually trying to interact with it and find specific information that used to be "just a tab away".
Seconding this, the new UI is very difficult to use for our team. The previous workflow which prioritized the logs was great for our use case and indeed we actively engineered around it to present useful logs.
thanks for your feedback @liveeo-philipp and @rbanick - we hear you and are planning to offer a more direct / raw view of logs soon!
