I'm finding the new File->New dialog to be must less convenient than the old one. One issue I have is that I have many different "templates" directories. I carefully name my template documents so they sort together, e.g, "D4P - Chapter.dita", "D4P - Article.dita", etc. That works really well in the flat list of templates. I tend to organize my templates by type within a containing directory named "templates": templates/topics, templates/maps, templates/word, templates/indesign, etc. In Oxygen 11 I could point to the ancestor templates directory and everything just worked. Very convenient. But in the new system, each containing directory is reflected in the New File tree, so I get a lot of "templates" entries under the Global Templates item, with no way to distinguish which project a given templates directory is for. Short of bringing back the old dialog, I think an easy fix would be to make Global Templates a flat list like the old dialog. Otherwise I can't think of any easy change that would make the new dialog behave usefully with the way I currently have my templates organized. One of the nice aspects of the old template mechanism was it meant that I didn't have to have a templates/ directory that was designed specifically for Oxygen, since the use of Oxygen is as much for my own convenience as it is for my clients. That is, I want my "templates" directory to be the holder for any kind of template for any tool or purpose for which templates is useful, not a specific "Oxygen templates" directory.
