Please reconsider the mass switching of UI3 on April 30

Bump. Switching to UI3 is an efficiency killer.

It’s the useless floating toolbar sitting directly over my work that does it for me. I cannot believe the placement of this bar still isn’t optional, and that you can’t hide and just use shortcuts. This was not a problem that needed solving. It’s incredibly unpopular across Figma forums and Reddit. Not listening to a community of people who design for a living is wild. Please reconsider mass switch to UI3 until this issue is resolved.

(not to mention the st-stu-stuttery transition in that useless toolbar when switching to dev mode)

Also this (old screencap of mine but the problem still persists)

Not happy. This floating toolbar, which is never used by any professional designer because we use shortcuts, is super annoying. Please reconsider, I still use UI2 and whenever I try to switch, I revert back after a couple of minutes because I need to get work done, and UI3 stops me from doing that. I’ve been looking all tutorials regarding UI3 and I design very complex b2b applications for a living, so, it’s not about “getting used to it”. UI3 is simply not good for working fast.

I signed up for this forum just to find out how to fix that broken floating toolbar in the middle of the screen. I’m frustrated and disappointed to see that it’s been months now and they’re refusing to fix it and apparently just doubling down by removing the option to use the previous UI. I’m dreading April 30th.

For the love of everything holy, Figma, do NOT kill UI2.

UI3 is a living nightmare. I mean, just read the 15 pages of the love here:

I will jump ship to PenPot so fast and I will drag everyone I work with along.

Not happy with the UI3. It seems that it made my workflow about 10% slower and not because it’s new.

Type layout properties are now detached from the type section - I need to switch to the different UI block to use it.

Frame resizing - Fixed, Fill etc are now cleverly hidden within the pixel width menu - WHY do you feel the need to combine them?

Floating toolbar is very annoying, what’s the benefit of it?

UI controls for components are now even more confusing.

All these little decorations and outlines around elements - why? You just adding to a cognitive load and increasing processing time.

Such a step down honestly.

This pervasive urge to fix what isn’t broken is the ruin of all good software. See Adobe Photoshop for reference. 🙄

The more we pay, the more they'll just spend it on pointless UI3 updates. Stop funding their bad UI3 designs—just switch to Penpot.

I don’t want to lose my productivity. As a ultra-heavy user I’ve made 10+ attempts to get used to this UI3 abomination but it simply drags my productivity down in cognitive and physical sense. 

Now this announcement is like saying to a surgeon that he has one month left operating with a scalpel. After that it’s kitchen knife.

Can you please don’t do this to us.

Glad I still have 2019 macbook pro. I’ll use the touch bar for the floating bar while I parachute myself into the nearest active volcano 🪂🌋👍
