UPDATE April 21 - thank-you all for the many comments! Below I am answering a few right here on the main landing area, but first here's what others are saying about the new interface:

Similarly, I'm being forced to write this post using the new blogger interface.
I suppose I'll be open-minded and try them, since Google is not

Defence and Freedom: The new Blogger interface sucks

The new blogger interface sucks; it just ate a completed blog post of mine.
Beware: Somehow the whole text was deleted and nothing happened
when I did hit CTRL+Z, then I saw the "Save" blink (automatic save)
and it was ..
Now here's my original post with update -
I noticed several hours after I uploaded my post that blogger changed the way the button works, so you can get back "old Blogger" for a session or for about one hour, whichever is longest.

UPDATE (10:30pm) The alleged "upgrade" has also crippled blogger's ability to read and publish posts that are "scheduled" - such posts must now be published manually.
I prefer the old, more compact, version of blogger's interface: here's why:
The opening interface looked like it was "buffering" the way a music video does on dialup. Hey, I'm on BroadBand!
It took much longer than usual than upload a post.
Trying to get an image up was a real bitch. The pictures just wouldn't stay centered as programmed.

Here's how to go back to the old blogger interface:
- Login to your Blogger account.
- On the top right of the screen you will see Blogger Options. Click that, and from the dropdown, choose Old Blogger Interface.
- And you will be back on solid blogging ground, redirected to the Old Reliable Blogger Interface.
