No doubt that the new one is much prettier and offers more functions :-)
However, I expect an significant part of the use is a simple filter action.

Imagine a range where I want to see al the "Cor" entries.
With the old autofilter, is is sufficient to
(start it with Alt-D, F, Enter)
Launch it with ALt-Down
Type "C" (if needed "Co"), Enter and you're done.

With the new dialog, you need more and complicated key strokes .. even 
the mouse works faster :-) / :-\
Of course for this simple action, but that is a use case too, ain’t it?

Ah, that is the technical part, and why I asked it would be possible.
If it is really a hassle, then further improving the new one is the only 
way to go, of course.
That is why I started trying to add some accelerators in the fist place. 
Well, see explanation and remarks in my first and second post in this 
thread.

Cheers,
