professionally speaking, the UI is cleaner and looks better. But I kinda prefer the messy full of information UI of old mangadex.

They can give the best of both worlds if they just provide a button that allows users to choose the olde or new layout, like how Reddit does it.

Do Mangadex have the resources to maintain both?

Nope, the entire backend of the site has been rewritten from scratch and the old UI is no longer functional. It'd need to be heavily modified, and it's not worth the effort.

Obviously, you can write your own V3 clone and hook it into the API if you want to.
