A few things changed:
As for my thoughts:
If you like the new ui, then that's great. But there's clearly people who don't for great reasons.
The reasons might be fine, but my opinion is that is whole thing is a little bit... Blown out of proportion.
Just on a couple of your points:
The other thing for me is that Discord is the messaging app I prefer, by a long shot. If they see this as an opportunity to add SMS linking to their feature set, and allow users to then also bridge those from the mobile to desktop version, it would solve a lot of communication issues I have, having everything in one place.
It's a welcome change in my book.
Yeah I do agree it kinda exploded. For me the new layout is a really deal breaker because my phone is abnormally tall, and I literally need to move my whole hand to reach the top.
I know that discord isn't the only one to use icons at the top, heck, the "send message" button on Eternity is literally at the top, but when there is change for change sake, it just feels insulting. I don't even reply all that much too.
