OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10

I will mostly miss the Recent Notes feature, and a bit how the search results a listed on OneNote for Win10, but it does feel like the search in the current OneNote is faster and more robust (e.g. "Recent picks" list works well enough for me as replacement for the Recent Notes feature).

But largely, I'm okay with this... because I recall being seriously put off by the, then, NEW OneNote for Win10 when it was introduced by force on Win10. We just learned to live with it, and learned to appreciate some of its features.
But I agree with geowilly​ . Why can't we keep the same/similar user interface, instead of going backwards?
