THANK YOU!
This has: saved my sanity, fixed my carpel tunnel, and given me back at

I'll take any form of relief from that new UI, even if its only for a few

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

turned it on permanently a few months ago, my productivity dropped, and
I was ... extremely frustrated.

But like you said, Google won't listen, and we'll probably never get a
usable UI back.
