Question

Anyone using the new edit layout from the lab? What are your thoughts?

So far I just took a quick glance and thought, it takes longer to get to things. And the double stacked menu takes to much space away from the actual settings. 

Whats your experience?

I'm loving it! Although there's an extra tap to get to the panels, that's balanced by there being a lot less scrolling left and right to get to the tools. It's much more consistent with the desktop and web apps, too. I suspect it'll grow on you if you've only used it for a short time.

My biggest problem on the phone in portrait mode is that I have less space for the actual settings (and the photo is covered up more), now the selection menu is two rows, sides scrolling was never an issue. 

 

Also on the tablet layout the space is there and now unused with the new design. Even on the phone there is enough space for more than 3 symbols. 

 

When I'm in the settings itself they show less options while using more screen space, no idea how someone can think that's better. 

 

Never used the web interface.

That's useful info. You're on Android? This is early release (e.g. beta stuff), so screenshots showing where you're having issues is really helpful. You should be able to turn the new UI on and off in app settings, but real world feedback is way more useful. On iOS I was complaining the exact opposite this morning, that there wasn't enough space for sliders, but I haven't seen Android on tablet yet. Adobe is listening to feedback so be specific!
