This UI-Update is not it

Just here to give my feedback as a daily user of multiple of your apps... This UI update is not it; it has no benefit. It kills my workflow because I have to reread the simplest menus because you made them more diffuse, less intuitive, or changed positions slightly. You know that many of your customers work by muscle memory, right? You know that such changes are slowing things down in the daily process?

I wouldn't say anything if a UI update would actually have a benefit; it doesn't.

Looking forward for a legacy option.

What UI update??

I think you need to be more specific. What UI update?

If you mean the simplified right-click menu, this can be reverted in Preferences/Settings.

Stuff like this as seen below. Slightly changes or rearrangements in some spots, which begs the question why here and why in general. Little things that feel off. For example, the little gap in the InDesign Font panel on top (probably because they added a "all smallcaps option"?). Or the "Add New Layer" Window in Photoshop. - The color field is not even clickable, but for some reason they got rid of the pretty crucial info that it's a 50% grey - I came across both while working, and both times it dragged me out of flow.

I must admit it was late and stress was high, which led to this post. In hindsight, maybe the post is too much, but then I think it is still annoying, especially because it did drag me out of my work, so there is something to it.

Before you ask, yes I do not update frequently for good reasons. So even if this change is a couple of updates old, the point I'm making still stands. No benefit, but annoying impact, at least in my workflow.

Just a basic guess on my part: the new New Layer dialog was probably redesigned with wide screens in mind and the fact that the average user nowadays tends to work with larger and higher resolution screens.

In my opinion the new UI layout of this particular dialog feels less cluttered and is much more readable, so I do not mind it all - the opposite, in fact.

That said, I do agree with you that we could argue in favour of "neutral gray (50%)" or "neutral color (50 % gray)" rather than "neutral color", because the term "neutral color" by itself doesn't make sense at all to me.
