Possibly the worst "upgrade" process

I am seriously annoyed at Blogger. They changed the layout of their editor not long ago, making some things hard to find. More recently, they updated the behaviour of pressing "Enter": they insert a paragraph instead of a line break. Previously, I pressed "Enter" twice to get a new paragraph, but suddenly that had changed and I needed to press "Shift+Enter" to get a normal line break instead.

And then today I suddenly noticed an option in the editor's toolbar that said "Paragraph". I clicked on it, and discovered options like headings, and most importantly, "Normal". Selecting "Normal" gave me back my normal editing behaviour.
 
This is how the toolbar looks like:


I hate how everything is an icon, and I have to figure out what each one means (the icons are not super-intuitive). And also, I previously had default settings for the photos that I add (medium size, centered, as you see in most of my posts). But now I have to re-customize each one!

They should just keep our options when they "upgrade" us to the new Blogger interface. -_-

Another thing: Previously, when I wanted to add a link, I could immediately press "Ctrl+V" to paste my link in the dialog box. Now I need an extra step of clicking on the dialog box, where I want to paste my link. Grrr.....you should be improving things, not making them worse...
