When you change an interface so significantly you should provide a menu/preferences option to emulate an earlier build interface for a couple of reasons.Experienced users can optimize their workflow by choosing which layout they preferNew users who are following tutorials which use the old layout can find stuff.I am in the second category and have had to delete 2.8 and start using 2.79 just so I can follow tutorials.The 2.8 splash screen does not give the option to emulate 2.79 anymore ( I believe it once did). It does give an option to save files to 2.7x and to choose left or right mouse, but it does nothing for the layout, not even when restarting it.

I know that new bug reports on 2.8 are restricted to developers, but I thought I could provide some useful information here. System Information Linux Debian 9. Blender 2.8 user interface and viewport has changed quite a bit. From new selection defaults to new menus.
