Presumably the current v2 theming.

While it's not as bad as others, there's some rather jarring concepts,
like "floating action buttons" (3 toolbars weren't enough, apparently?).

In general, "context sensitive" UX is fine for casual use where you
don't bother trying to learn a program anyway; but when you want to
(because you're using $program 8 hours a day and it'd make you more
productive), it makes training muscle memory a lot harder as actions
randomly appear/disappear (especially bad when there's not even keyboard
shortcuts).
