P: Transform/Resize is constrained by default - Want ability to go back to legacy behavior

When selecting a layer and dragging a corner handle with the shift (or alt-shift) key pressed, the resize proportion isn't constrained. This started with this most recent update.

My guess is that the "who" that is requesting these, uh, "refinements" is either Adobe themselves.

It has been suggested that this is to make interface consistent across platforms with iPads, iPhones etc, which lack shift keys, but that would leave them with no way to do unconstrained resizing, so if true, it's an even-dumber move.

I've got feeling they are lazy and don't have what to do with money. So they start stupid projects to show they do anything to fill the gap and keep rest of money safe. Then they fix bugs - so change back that they screwed up to show they work (while their management deserved to be paid!)

Now we know that noone has to admit - they use us to test their products for free.

One month discussion could be avoided if they released Photoshop that one month later. They could find what is wrong, fix that before official release, and focus on bugs and important stuff!

 I've got the feeling this 'feature' has been implemented so PS is easier to use on an Ipad. But professionals don't work directly on Tablets.

Inconsistency, inconsistency, inconsistency

* Transform: Illustrator Indesign Photoshop, not the same.
* I wonder. What happens if you transform a pixel shape and a vector shape simultaneously. My brain has to do a lot of extra work while transforming different type of shapes.
* I've got the feeling this 'feature' has been implemented so PS is easier to use on an Ipad. But professionals don't work directly on Tablets.

I've got a complete team of frustrating designers struggeling en getting slowed down in there workflow.

Facepalm...

FIX THIS ALLREADY!

And after so many complaints we still don't know what they plan to do about it!

I back installed to 2018 because of this. I'm curious who is making these requests that is changing features that are muscle memory for power users who've been using Photoshop for 20 plus years with no obvious way to revert the function.

I saw the PSUserConfig.txt file work-around, but I hope, at a minimum, Adobe adds to their preference file a way to undo the "updates" they've made. 

So disappointed.
