Bring Back Legacy Shift Proportions

I recently downloaded the new photoshop 2019 version and to my surprise, holding shift no longers functions as it used to.

Since the dawn of time, when a user wanted to proportionally scale a graphic, shape, text box, etc, one would hold shift to do so. In the most recent update, this is no longer the case. After attempting to reach customer support via email and seeing an error message, I've turned to this forum for a good old fashion rant session. Here are my reasons why this change is utterly annoying.

First off, I do understand the logic of the recent change. In other programs, such as Powerpoint, this has long been the default. So it makes a little sense as to why they made the change. Although I'm not sure if aspiring to Powerpoint is a worthy goal. What they failed to do though was to include an option to revert back to the legacy setting. In past updates such as implementing the 'ESC' key to exit text boxes, they at least included a toggle for us old users so if we pleased, we could return to the ways of which we spent countless years building muscle memory for.  This seems like a lazy oversight of the developer team, or even worse, a forceful move requiring all to bend to this new decision.

What's even worse is the new system makes no sense! For example, when I drop in a smart object I don't hold 'Shift' to proportionally scale the object. But if I draw a shape, I have to hold 'Shift' to create an equilateral shape. Then once that shape is drawn, I still need to hold 'Shift' to proportionally scale the shape. Then for text, it's back to not holding shift to proportionally scale the type. Even worse, in Illustrator and InDesign you still need to hold 'Shift' to proportionally scale objects, text, and shapes! There's a total lack on inconsistency here!!! One of the major selling points of Creative Cloud is the ease of use between all of the programs and how great they work with each other. How does it make any sense that simple functions behave one way in one program and differently on the other?!

Ultimately I'm not upset about the change but the fact that there's no way to turn it off and revert to legacy controls. If Adobe wants to try out new things that they feel will help users, great. But come on, if you are going to make such a drastic change at least give us the option to disable it. Especially a change that isn't consistent across programs and contradicts itself.

Am I the only one who feels like this. I'm not one to write rants but this change is throwing me off.
