⚡ New UI takes up too much useful space and requires more clicks

Hi!
I tried the new interface for a week. Unfortunately, it is inconvenient for laptops with a 16:9 screen. The text field at the bottom takes up too much valuable space in the center. When it is on the right, it takes up a third of the screen.
In the new interface, the tool selection on the left is very inconvenient, as you have to click on the pop-up box with the tool, and it is especially annoying that you cannot select the Move pointer with a single click.
All actions on images are now piled up on the right side of the workspace (in the old interface, instant actions were in the toolbar, and those requiring configuration were in tabs). This has made the top toolbar a meaningless waste of screen space. And the connection between the prompt field and the selected action has become unclear.
It has not become more convenient, nor has it become clearer. The central workspace has become cluttered. In the central area, I would like to see the images themselves, not the interface blocking them.
I hope you will not disable the old interface. Leave it as two states, like the studios in Affinity.
Thank you, Recraft is a very cool tool, I wish it to be perfect!
