Adobe really dissappointed with making the Essential Graphics panel go away -- don't change core UI!

Hi Adobe,

I am here to get a little on your case about a big change you made in Adobe Premiere Pro 2025.  You made the Essential Graphics panel go away, in favor of grouping everything in a more context-aware Properties panel.

However, I want to say, I don't think that move was very well thought-out by your UI/UX team.  It was a bad move and has resulted in a lot of confusion among your user base.  And myself included.

I like where you guys were going with it, but if something has been a certain way in your software for a long time, you need to take a page from the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  People rely on software generally looking and feeling the same way throughout its product maintenance lifecycle.  If it changes too drastically, it results in too big of a paradigm shift among your user base.

I strongly urge Adobe to carefully consider putting the Essential Graphics panel the way it was -- don't mess with something that is a tried-and-true part of the UI/UX and really is fine just the way it is.

Regards,

Brian Hart
