We really appreciate your feedback, and we hear your frustration.
We're sorry for the impact this is having on your ability to communicate with your team and on your overall productivity.
We made a mistake by forcing everyone into this feature without providing an opt-out for customers like you: people for whom the existing behavior was working just fine.
We've started working on a preference that will let you return to the previous message composer.
We don't have a specific release date to share right now — it's this team's top and only priority, however, and we expect to have it available on the desktop within a couple of weeks, with Android following shortly thereafter.
We will follow up with another note when this option is available to you, and we'll include instructions on how to enable it.
Again, we're sorry for the disruption and we're grateful for the feedback.
We missed the mark on this feature! We will do our best to learn from this and avoid similar mistakes in the future.
Thanks for sharing your experience with our new formatting UI. I'm sorry to hear it's been a little disruptive so far.
There isn't a way to revert to the old formatting method, I'm afraid.
We don't currently have plans to make the new formatting configurable
though we are carefully considering all our customers' feedback.
Got the same message. Let's see if "carefully considering all our customers' feedback" means "hey, lots of people are annoyed by this" or "ignoring all our customers' feedback".

I don't really have any except to use the alphas of tokio and toy with it. The tokio alpha docs and the async book[0] has some info, but both are a bit incomplete.
