Longtime Thunderbird user. I prefer the old interface and so I've selected that. I wish I could compose a message or a reply in a tab. I often have to click away from the compose window and finding it again is less convenient than it could be (I'm on a Mac.) Lots of people want it, it's been an open bug/feature request since 2008 [0] and yet this is ignored in favor of other UX cruft and website PR. I don't get the importance of announcing a website redesign. Doesn't look like it would convince anyone to try it.
