Suddenly my Acrobat look soooo different (hate it)

Suddenly my menues have move around and also been replaced by a more cuddly/soft/childlish app feel - feels really inefficient, at least for me.
Is this due to a new release? If so, is there any way to manually change it so it looks mor like it used to (I want the pages on the left, additional menu parts on the right and more text menues on top)?

If it is due to something else - how do I change it back to normal?

    It's the new Adobe UI. And many people dislike it, not just for the look&feel, but also because it has a lot of issues with functionality and many of the tools have been moved around needlessly.

    Luckily, you can go back to the old UI. Click the Options button at the top left corner (Windows) or open the View menu (Mac) and select Disable New Acrobat.

      Many thanks for your quick answer! Phew, that it is possible to still use the old UI.
      I so agree with each and every point made in the uservoice-link and have given it a "critical" vote. To me this release is completely incomrehensible...
