I'm a shortcuts person, and I like customizability. Please make the new Header Bar feature of Version 22.3 optional. I have no use for any of the buttons or information on the header, all of which are redundant and can be accessed either through the toolbar or via keyboard shortcuts. I appreciate that the Header may be convenient for new Premiere users, but for power users it is wasted screen real estate.

I think I figured it out! If we can collectively cast a "love spell" maybe we can make Adobe fall in love with their users and actually listen to what we are saying instead of only falling in love with the $$$$$

I agree. The panel needs to be removed! Takes up a lot of space!

This is a deal breaker.
Please fix this!
This whole new import, edit, export disaster can be destroyed.
Thank GOD Media Encoder was not harmed during this forced experiment.

True Story. It is a waste of screen space, where the space it takes up on screen is far more than the option(s) will be used. And if they were used substantially than 1) there are keyboard shortcuts that get there faster or 2) there are menu options that get there faster. So yeah, the bar is neither a solution, or a help.
But it is taking up space that used to be less cluttered and allowed me to focus more on the work. Adobe seems to be making a point to make it less and less about getting work done, and more about being in Adobe. Davinci Resolve is a real solution to this problem.

It would be cool to have the option to show/hide this bar. Upvoted.

It's like they want to be iMovie. This is a professional editing suite, not a bit of software for kids. Why do I need this extra clutter on my display? Between this and the export window I wonder if Adobe have subcontracted their UI design to Fisher Price!

I love a clean and minimalist interface. no distraction. I can change my workspace with the windows menu at the top. I don't want to stare all day at those different Import, edit, export and workspace bar.
