Please bring back ui2

Please bring back ui2, it's very hard to work with Figma right now actually. Instead of a gradual change, everything changed all at once. There's no need to make things more complicated than they need to be.

I've always been a big fan of Figma. It's so easy to use and it's a pleasure to work with. After spending some time getting to know Adobe's various features, I've found a product that's as easy as it is delightful. Whether I can creating both banners or designing pages, this product makes it a breeze. I learned all the features and capabilities in just one day in UI2!

Now, with the new UI3, working with a simple project is lengthened many times over. I just wanted to let you know that the menu on the right is very tricky to use. It's working with frames, and the position of objects inside has become inconvenient and very long.

I would really appreciate it if you could bring back the UI2 selection. I'm struggling with the new interface for the third day and can't get used to it.

I had no idea that this forum even existed until today! I'm so glad I found it.

The new interface is terribly inconvenient, give me the opportunity to switch to the old one.

Convenience is at the expense of novelty.

UI3 is not only inconvenient, but also some elements look awful, and they don’t pass the contrast test.

Does anyone have any idea how can I get rid of this ugly grey top bar from 90s?
 


P.S. I don’t want to switch to dark theme.

Figma blew up because it was way easier to use than Adobe products. The interface was clean, fast, and didn’t get in the way. Now you’re ruining it. The new UI is a mess and nobody asked for it. Stop breaking what worked. Give us the option to go back to UI2 and you’ll see the majority prefer it. This isn’t innovation. It’s pointless change to justify busywork.

guess it’s time to look for alternatives for real now. i so don’t want to have to redo all my work but i’m so over these anti-user decisions.

I agree - it's so much less intuitive to use now, which means the UX on this is not as nice as it once was.

So…. I’ve been using UI3 since it was forced on and I still don’t intuitively go to the bottom of the screen for the tool bar (because this isn’t intuitive location for a WIMP UI)

…. any word on an feature to move the tool bar back up to the top left… maybe as an option?

I've made instructions on how to move the toolbar on top

After several months of using the new UI, I got used to its quirks (like this floating toolbar that introduces no value), except for the fact that EVERYTHING MOVES UP AND DOWN IN THE RIGHT PANE DEPENDING ON WHAT COMPONENT I’VE CLICKED. It’s so frustrating; it makes me search for every little thing all the time!

If anyone still reads it, please, please, PLEASE at least give people an option to move the component properties to the old place down, maybe as an option in the settings.
