You're replying to a post from November last year. The old compose is gone
forever, we knew it was going eventually and have had since October last
year to switch.

I've heard some people complain on this list about the new compose but I'll
say it again, I'm yet to hear a good argument for the old compose. It may
be your opinion that it is the worst thing to happen but I disagree, I find
it to be an improvement over the old compose.
I fully agree with that article's author: "I've briefly switched to the old
compose experience and I was surprised to see how cluttered it was: "add
cc", "add bcc", "insert invitation", "check spelling", a lot of rich-text
editing buttons. It looked like a document editor, not like a communication
software."
I also wish to have more space for my message, I don't need all the other
clutter visible all the time. I want to write email, not design a Word
document.
If I want formatting, I simply use keyboard short-cuts or click once to
bring up the options. This one single click that some are making such a
fuss about.
