New UI is *mostly* ok, but needs some changes

While unnecessary, most of the new UI is pretty good. There are, however, some very substantial problems I've noticed. 

1: Swipe to reply. 

This would be fine in a vaccum, but it required the removal of the far more important feature of quickly seeing channel details, pins, and online members. This is quite bad, and I think it should be reverted, or at least made an option to switch what swiping does.

2: DMs location. 

The DMs tab was perfectly fine where it was, and moving it to the bottom of the screen makes it more difficult to quickly switch between servers and DMs. 

3: Server navigation. 

It is possible to swipe out of your current channel to the server and channel list, but it is no longer possible to swipe back to the channel you were on. This was useful to see if there was activity in other channels while still being able to cancel and go back quickly, whereas now it is impossible to do that without manually navigating back to the original channel. I don't see a good reason for this feature being removed, and I used it constantly.

There may be more issues I'm not aware of yet, but these stood out to me in the first few minutes of using the new layout. I sincerely hope you listen to these issues instead of rejecting them like you have with others in the past.

    Found another severe issue: Server search has had extremely important features removed, such as the ability to search for messages from a specific person or sent in a specific channel. Things like from:user are just gone.
