That will give you Old Compose
THANK YOU!
This has: saved my sanity, fixed my carpel tunnel, and given me back at
least 5 minutes of each day
that I was recently wasting on the extra mouse clicks and movements that
were now needed to accomplish
the simplest of tasks.

...but in the meantime it's a good stopgap solution.
I'll take any form of relief from that new UI, even if its only for a few
days.
When the first introduced it, I tried it for a few minutes only to conclude
how
user un-friendly it was. So I immediately turned it off. Unfortunately
when they
turned it on permanently a few months ago, my productivity dropped, and
I was ... extremely frustrated.

I had already signed it back in August (# 413)
But like you said, Google won't listen, and we'll probably never get a
usable UI back.
