**"This is a really really backwards step in usability"**. The previous way of operating things were **much more intuitive and faster**.

Before it was easy to get your fingers on the arrow keys after invoking Hook.  
It is way slower to do the ctrl-T or click the title bar - the former requires one to look at the keyboard, the latter to take your fingers off the keyboard. Both are one action longer than the previous functionality, but perhaps worse - it takes one out of the flow.

I would second the suggestion made above that the new interface is optional.
