I don't care how much they update it. I will not use the new UI.

The new ui is too visually undifferentiated and lacks contrast, a bland soup of sameness to my eyes. I am sticking with the classic
I was skeptical, but I've really grown to like it, with a few tweaks
I don't think it's a total improvement, but it takes about a day or two to get used to. Feels like a well tested sidestep to just not be stuck with such an old UI and not turn off new comers.
The new UI is excellent. Feels sleek and modern.
I am sorry but that’s not what I want in my tools. I want my designs pre Bauhaus and powerful thank you very much.

I am sure some genius designer can make it work, but when even Apple fucks it up, I don’t want someone who tries.

Anything specific you like besides changing icons that didn't need to be changed (to worse icons nonetheless), removing text that didn't need to be removed and lower information density in general?
Why not? Something specifically wrong with it or just adverse to change?
I don't like icons. I like text.
I tried it recently and something I found immediately lacking is the breadcrumbs view. Without it I can't look at all the other code in the same package/folder/whatever.
In my Java projects, new UI with no customization, the breadcrumb view is there at the bottom of the window.
Oh it's just that it's been moved! Thank you for that. I was so used to the old UI I was completely blind to the idea it might have been elsewhere. Well, okay, I've switched my PyCharm to the new one so I'll get some experience. Leave my IntelliJ and Clion on old so I can get work done heh.
Can move it back to the top View -> Appearance -> Navigation Bar
Oh wow. Thank you again! That's great.
It also shows up in Rust, Python, and Typescript projects.
FYI, you can move it back to the top

-> View -> Appearance -> Navigation Bar

yeah, but most of us are used to it at the top... small things like this are really annoying.
