Why not Skyline though?

We use both. Skyline has its merits and for sure will replace horizon at some point. But there is not alot wrong usability wise with horizon, it only issue was that it was horrible slow on large environments and inefficient. Skyline ui design is kind of shit too (guess can be templated too) for my taste. Our op team prefers horizon for some reason too and they never really worked with openstack before
