Why does the new desktop update absolutely suck? So many features GONE.

Why does the new desktop update absolutely suck? So many features GONE.

Spotify updated about a week ago on my laptop, and it's absolute trash now. I can no longer edit playlist photos or descriptions. When I click on my profile, I can't view my account the way others do anymore. I can't change the order of playlists anymore. I can't filter/search for songs in a playlist either. I can't add local files anymore, and any existing ones in playlists don't play anymore. I can't adjust the size of the left and right columns either. Also, the heart icon beside songs is no longer there, so how am I supposed to know which songs are saved or not? And the friend activity tab doesn't show up anymore, even if the toggle under display settings in turned on. Is there a way to revert the version of spotify I have? If not, will I just have to wait until an update where they fix their mess?

Things to fix: Re-add (unbelievable) re-add 'skip adding duplicate songs to a playlist' - wasted productivity not knowing if a song is already in the playlist or not

Playlist folders: An expanded folder dumps all intra-folders playlists onto the screen. Keep things as they were, opening a folder only shows that current folders playlists! It's a sea of albums otherwise and you CANNOT find anything

Playlist formats: deadset, convert or allow PNG format
