DView vs. ResultsViewer

This is just a request to see if maybe ResultsViewer could be kept on/reinstated for new OpenStudio releases? DView takes forever to open and when it does, it has very limited capabilities. In contrast, ResultsViewer allows for very clear selection of data to be shown and also has a data picker, plus it is a lot faster even with large data files. One particular example I recently had to deal with is design day simulation runs. In ResultsViewer, I can easily pick the design day I want. In DView, I just got shown one day and it was not clear which day that was and how to select other days, if that were even possible.
