Finally, the idea that somehow utxos with amounts below 0.01594323 btc has to be necessarily consolidated makes no sense and it is clearly false. Here a user decided to consolidate all those outputs because she decided to move all her money out Wasabi. This is something no so uncommon, people that do not understand Wasabi tend to use it as a mixer where they send, mix and leave. By doing so, the lose the ability to manage what they reveal to the world after each transaction. I mean, now that users has only one single utxo and it will reveal lose its privacy immediately after she spend it in the next transaction.

Wasabi is not a mixer, it is a system designed to protect the privacy of your bitcoins and your transaction by allowing you to manage the information about who knows what about each of your utxos. Its labeling system is by far the most useful and powerful mechanism to manage your privacy and reveal only what you are okay revealing. Wasabi lets you know who can known about each of your transactions, it allows you to avoid change that stops the tracing of your wallet from others, it protects you from network observers, from entities that want to collect transaction data and metadata from you.

Those who use it as a mixer are simply idiots that do not know what they are doing and do not understand the consequenses of that.

As an idiot, I hope all wallets become idiot-proof. People seem to think it's too burdensome to use gold coins as money. Compared to all the pitfalls of maintaining privacy with Bitcoin, gold's looking pretty good at the moment. At the same time, I want to know how to use Bitcoin the most private way.

Instead of consolidating, what's the better approach? Let Wasabi do another coinjoin with the dust? What about moving to another wallet, what's the better way to do that? Coinjoin followed by sends from each UTXO to new addresses in the new wallet(s)?

The best way is by managing you walket with Wasab's labeling system, wasabi change avoidance snd automatic coin selection.

Wasabi is not a mixer so do not use it as such. Read the Wasabi documentation.
