The new UI doesn't feel great..

I've seen that there's already ten different posts on the matter, so I won't repeat what you likely already know, but yes, the new UI does feel quite cluttered. Messages are needlessly close together, not to mention the new emoji bar. Reactions are a nice feature and they have some usage, like for a server owner to gauge opinion on an announcement without turning general chat into a war zone, but it wasn't enough to warrant an entire shortcut menu I don't feel.

Yes, I'm aware the other features are also present in the bar. However, it's probably faster and more efficient at that point to just right click on your message instead. Overall it feels annoying and pretty intrusive.

I'm not saying that the new UI is objectively evil and that it should be executed and then have it's remains thrown into a volcano, I'm sure there's people that are enjoying the UI to a degree. Maybe they use reactions frequently or like the more close-together style, I don't know. However, an option to swap back to "Legacy Discord" would be greatly appreciated by quite a few people (including me).
