Premiere 22.5 Creating a new project is a nightmare

[adamt18510785]

Is there a way to get rid of this new project file template thing.
It's obnoxiously slow, has none of the file management shortcuts, the create button is greyed out, even though it's what you have to click and the templates are stupid. Can I just go back to regular legacy file management, why did they make this terrible UI thing, there’s plenty of things like sticky sliders and legacy issues they could have worked on. 

I find it much easier and faster to open a blank project and save it as a new one then to go through this new project loader

totally agree! Is this designed and build for professionals or is this now a mix of iMovie and Final Cut X all rolled into one? "Give project name and path and hit create" - why create extra steps, that are buggy, unclear and combersome? This is a nightmare when opening new projects, I dont want to see random stock media – stop adding features for the sake of it, because some Gen Z had a "great idea" in a branding meeting while tweeting #goals to their friends. Madness!! The extra step to export is also a nightmare. If you want to play with the kids, make 2 versions PRO and Commercial for the influrncer who needs pictures to guide them on their path...
