If it works just the same, why would they just outright delete the UI most of us like? There's no good reason not to have options.

not saying that i don't hate the UI changes with my entire being, but there is absolutely a good reason to not keep the old one. that would mean that discord would have to support two entirely different codebases that would both have to be modified independently whenever they wanted to e.g. add a new feature

What about taking a Winamp approach. One discord, but downloadable skins.

Ah fair enough.
