    is it not better to have more features in Logos than having less?

    No. This was already addressed in the OP:

    There are often two — or more! — similar-but-not-quite-the-same ways of doing things in Logos. This makes the app more complex, which makes it harder for users to learn, and harder for us to maintain our code.

    No. This was not addressed by OP. Since clearly this would not be the case if you make this a toggle in the settings as has been repeatedly suggested since the beginning. We understand that you want to keep it simple for new users, and that is all fine, but this should not affect usability for others that rely on more advanced features. I totally get that you would get rid of two identical features, as was the intention of OP, but if these were identical we would not be here arguing.
    Making it a toggle in the settings would be an easy win-win: the app stays simple yet allows features for specific user case scenarios where ref.ly simply does not work. I cannot see the apparent downside?

    I would not be this annoying if it was not important to me, please don't dismiss me as someone simply looking for trouble.

    Dear @Bradley Grainger (Logos) and @Mark Barnes (Logos). Since you disagree and think there is no functioning difference between these two links then could you please at least share the relevant code so that I myself can convert these consistently. I don't know if you care but I've spent close to five grand on this company and would sure like to keep using this product in what I deem the most efficient way possible (this is a feature I would pay for). Fine if you don't want to enable this feature in Logos for everyone, given that you don't see any need of it (I still don't see a downside), but please give the necessary information to make a personal workaround. Surely this at least would be a reasonable solution?

    @Leonard Metsäranta We've put up a conversion page at https://ref.ly/convert that will convert from refly to the legacy format. (This is an unsupported page and we can't make any guarantees about it working long term.)
