Toolbar Personalization
I rarely comment on product updates because my life is crazy busy and I don't want to waste my time. In fact, I've only ever opined on such matters maybe three times in my life, and I'm middle aged. Hopefully, that clarifies how strongly I feel about this.
I absolutely HATE that I cannot personalize my toolbar. I hate not being able to dock it. I have forms that I use in my job, and I loved have immediate access to "Save As" so as to leave my original intact and not oversave it by accident. Yes, I realize I can add it to that ridiculous sideways toolbar, but it's on the bottom and the bar is not docked so it keeps getting in the way and is distracting. The work space doesn't feel clean with that little annoyance there. I want it in the header, and I can't move it there. I can't add any buttons to that worthless bar in the header either. For a program that has the entire purpose of being able to suit a document to one's specific needs, this toolbar setup is shockingly cookie-cutter and does not allow for personal preference AT ALL. I'm SO disappointed that this is what I have to deal with now. The last update was bad enough, but this one is infinitely worse. Most of the major program suites provide full customization of toolbars, but instead of adding that convenience, you've whittled away at it. It's a rotten shame, and now I get to lose time in figuring out how to try to set up this awful UI so I can have a smooth workflow yet again. This is truly disappointing from a program that clearly has chops when it comes to programming personalization. It's such a shame.

I have the same frustration! I customized my toolbar in the previous UI design to include all of the different page view options (scrolling, single page view, two-page scrolling, two-page side-by-side; fit to width scrolling, fit to one full page) and I don't even have the OPTION to put those buttons into the floating toolbar in the "new experience".
