Why change everything?

Totally agree why the change which has cost way to much time out of my day stuffing around with this complete waste of time progrsamme.

I wouldnt have purchased it in this layout so not sure why you feel it would be a good move ???

Agree 100% with Reginal. I have spent more time navigating the convoluted interface than actually accomplishing my tasks.  If I can't revert, will unsubscribe and look for an option.  This is unconscionable.

I don't mind the layout changes - it took me a minute but I was able to find what I needed.  The problem for me is that it's unstable.  It is so hard to do simple text edits (italics, color, font size, etc.) and then all of the sudden all of my changes will be lost and I just see random boxes.  It's just not working like it's supposed to yet.  I need to be productive and can't afford trying 5 times before I get something to work.  Reverting back now...

Users have not got time to learn a new interface when they have a job to do by a deadline.  And then re-write the instructions for everybody else. Where is the button to quickly revert to the old interface we are familiar with?

Apparently functionality and usability are no longer important in design. Speed is also not relevant, as the new version is much slower too. I take my hat off to adobe, they must have put a lot of effort into making the new improved version, slower, harder to use, less intuitive, and generally worse than the previous version, in most recognisable ways. It is a true achievement and must have taken genuine effort. Personally I would be ashamed as a coder or brand if I had created something like that, but I am impressed that adobe have the confidence to just throw caution to the wind and say hey, wer'e going to do this anyway. 

One key thing Adobe's editors forgot in the new structure that you have to stumble through hopelessly looking for the selection you want is The Undo command! Some symbols tell you what they are when you hover over them; others require users to guess, but you cannot undo your last action if you think wrong. I am afraid to save my work in this setup because I do not want to deal with what I cannot undo. I was trying to fix some images and text improvements, and others are wonky. Concerning the drawing feature, you can only set the opacity once, which converts for both options. Therefore, if you want to draw a circle, it lets you draw a red one, but try to correct it, and you get a red dot. I converted the ink color to black, set the center opacity to zero, and everything vanished. I selected the circle outline, modified the opacity, and got a dot. 

I have read that I can discontinue this, but will I lose the work I have done with this? Will it return to what I had before you put this thing in full function? I am leaving my computer on all night to avoid losing what I may want to save (though I am not sure much of the modification is worth saving). It might have been easier for everyone if you introduced it with a demo with instructions and identified everything rather than letting us wander through this maze.

The new experience is horrible. I can't do anything. I had to flail around to turn it off. Awful. Awful. Awful. 

Just stop.

Ditto. At least we can change it back. Note to programmers: you may like change (ie, your bosses may like change..and their bosses order the changes), but most end users do not. (nor to they ever get a vote) I don't have time or the patience to find missing things or figure out how to do something bec of the changes. Please leave the working environment as it is and work on fixing the out of memory errors & crashes instead.

I so agree - basically [removed] staff with time on their hands - No thanks ----

Something just updated my Adobe to a completely differentt menu.  I hate it.  With other interface problems, it may be on the way out.
