I know this has been discussed before but... The basic tab looks busy and unappealing compared to MM3. Also, it is not consistent with the other tabs (details, classification). The field names 'Title', 'Artist(s)', etc. appear on top of the boxes and the inadequate vertical spacing between the boxes makes them appear crowded and difficult to read. The other tabs have the field headers to the left.
If you go by the 'glance' theory, this one is worse: it is glance -> read, absorb -> glance -> read, absorb... if I just go vertically down it forces me to read the field names and details alternatively. In the default vitreous skin, there is no difference between background color and field box to separate them well visually.
It is the most used dialog box. Admit you messed it up.
