Issues with New Adobe Express UI: Layer Box, Text Styles, and Color Menu

Question

when creating a poster, the new, permanently positioned box that expands or contracts the layers blocks the upper right corner of the design. Please go back to the way it was before (i.e., remove, or make possible to HIDE, the big, ugly layers box).
 
Additionally, the text editing menu that pops up no longer allows for style changes within a font family. Please restore this. 
 
Please also restore the expanded color menu. Having very few choices now without having to select custom to create a better color is annoying. Copying the color codes also does not work—copy does not work. Attempts to paste are futile.
 
Finally, many of the pop up functions that occur when an action is selected make it impossible to see the results below, obscured by the gigantic pop up with sliders. In many cases I am unable to scroll with my finger to reveal the impacted design area—this is most aggravating when the changes are towards the bottom of the design.
 
Too many changes happening all at once, clearly not all for the better.

Addendum: In this image, I can not push the design any higher to get out
from under the submenus. So I can't see the changes as they happen. This is
at regular and enlarged magnifications. Increasing the allowable white
space surrounding the design could fix this. Better: reduce the amount of
visual real estate used up by these large submenus.

Such things did not use to be this way. Change may be constant in this
world, but I do hope the decision makers will rethink the changes made in
the past six months (or more, really).
