Forcing UI3 on us is a HUGE mistake! Let us choose! - April 30

Leave UI2 design!!!!!! 

I don’t want to change to UI3 I wouldn’t use it even you give free premium. Why you guys don’t think WHY so many users reporting about it. It’s absolute disaster. I use UI2 no matter what. Don’t upload new UI which noone needs.

Agree! I can’t imagine switching to UI3. It will be more convenient for me to create designs in HTMl/CSS. FIGMA, KEEP UI2!

This is not only what I think. As you can see, people are not liking the new UI3. Yes, UI3 maybe looks modern and clean, but it's causing people to struggle and lose their effectiveness in work or design. Don't update the new UI3, which no one needs. Everyone used to UI2. Look at those topics; almost every day someone makes a topic about the disadvantages of the new UI. Since you know these hates towards UI3, why would you guys update it? As I mentioned before, this is not only what I think; almost every user is not liking the new UI, and you guys are going to make us use it in a month.

Figma team wants to cut our hands off and gauge our eyes out. I don’t want to work like I’m 80 years old figuring out what’s where.

Why deprecate UI2? It’s better than UI3 imo. I’m sure you have received similar feedback from other designers. The new UI is not very Accessible either...very small thin type, etc. There is other software suitable for non designers like Canva for instance. Also, please remember that designers use Figma for other use cases besides responsive design.  I’m sure everyone is doing there best but some of us need to be efficient while designing. There are so many other ways you could be optimizing the program (modularity, custom set padding, etc). I’m sure you’ve read about unnecessary drop downs, etc. I really tried using the new UI and it is not as efficient or functional. Thank you so much for thinking of us:-) 

The new UI is very inefficient. I’m surprised the results of Figma’s user research and usability testing (you guys did that, didn’t you?) led to this terrible outcome. There have been so many brilliant recommendations and feedback from your users in your forums, and yet you chose this? 

Please listen and try again. 

Don’t remove UI2. Atleast keep both UI2 & UI3 as an accessibility. People have usability issue in UI3 as you may have seen the feedback. As a UI/UX perspective, UI2 is very efficient visually & functionally. Please do not remove UI2.

I agree, I do not appreciate all of the changes and organization of the new UI. I do not like the fact that the position of things feels and looks drastically different depending on the complexity and options of components. I do not appreciate how a lot of the values for the inputs look selected when I’ve not interacted with them. The “old” UI is overall better, in my opinion, for those reasons.

Figma, while I appreciate the ability to resize the panels, I do not think you’re taking the right direction with the new UI. If anything, you are adding friction to users while meaning not to.

Agree. I’ve been using FIgma for years and years. So much that I can create things almost at the speed of thought. With UI3 turned on I feel literally paralysed. And I’ve tried turning UI3 on for at least 50 times now but every time it’s just as painful. Actually, it frustrates me so much that since the news about UI2 going away I’ve started actively working to make a chrome extension that would allow me to get the UI3 to being as close to UI2 as possible. Like for example - having a toolbar at the top, switching places for the blocks in design panel, have the “create component” and other buttons in the middle of the toolbar, make checkboxes turn blue when I select them so I could even see them (I’m talking to you “Clip content”), remove the unnecessary paddings from dropdown menus, and so on and so on...
