People hate change.

I'm still using the old look for the following reasons:

- using right side chat in the new look results in another vertical scroll bar and breaks how message scrolling works.

- my theme no longer exists in the new look and the selection of themes for the new look is limited (I use cold shower).

It may have started a few months ago but people have been adding their responses to it until a few hours ago. It's coming back as an issue because Gmail used to allow users the ability to revert to the old look, but have now removed that option.

Take a look: there have been around 100+ new posts in the last 5 hours complaining about the new look.
