When they upgraded it I find it hard to do the usual process of creating an eth address. So for me, I like the old version which good thing is they not yet abolish and still desktop users are able to use it cause they have a click bait to use the old version. The only thing I like is their MEW app which closely same with Imtoken which is quite useful.

Mew refers to myetherwallet where we can get Eth address,private key,keystore file and so on. Here Eth/ERC-20 address is the most important part to ensure one's rewards,payment and make transactions or exchange with each other. In near past,we can easily open a wallet by typing this-https://vintage.myetherwallet.com where we can get private key easily. Also by doing copy-paste of private key we are easily access mew wallet. But now, that site- https://vintage.myetherwallet.com is automatically generated to this site- https://www.myetherwallet.com/ without my permission which is very disgustful. By entering this generated site,it doesn't show private key in front page where previous site- https://vintage.myetherwallet.com is shown private key perfectly.
 

The previous site in my point of view was far much simpler and easy to understand by a noob too. It now takes special skills to go through the home page. I got confused at first when I saw the new page for the first time.

I don't think so. This new version must be better, must have some additional features that would make it more secure and convenient for the user. But to be honest, I am more comfortable using the old version, the one which I grew to appreciate and find easy to navigate. It was very simply, the old MEW. Now, there are many features that I am not familiar with anymore.

I agree with you, the previous version is better than the current version.
but this way can reduce phishing sites, maybe by getting used to trying new things will be more comfortable and accustomed to doing so.

It was like a long ago since I made my last MEW and I never touched it since I invested in ETH, maybe I could've bought few.
I just visited their site as of writing this reply.
I think the new site is better, and this might be just me but I don't think there has been that much of changes. Maybe the site design itself.
I tried creating a random wallet into it, and it seems like I can still access the wallet the same as I accessed my dummy wallet long time ago.

at first it was very confusing for users who used to access the old MEW, but it looks like it's the same ... even better now (new version). The new MEW does not ask us to save the private key, because maybe most scammers can access our wallet through the theft of our private key. believe me, MEW is only trying to make its users safer and more comfortable.

Everything is our angle view. Do you use any others wallet? You are just used to it and now can't change it after long time visit. Always to add new improvement in any site, older layout should change which we can't easily accept. After next update you would like the older one.

Straight up yes, the older site is way better than this new look that get me confuse presently, when there is an update from old to new, it should be along same part but with more advanced options but in this case I can't really say the same, for this reason am looking for an alternative eth wallet, myetherwallet has let me down.

MyEtherwallet current version is looking gorgeous interface, added a lot of new features individually. But i am not familiar in this current version, so still i comfortable to use old version and i will go with vintage link.

I remember the first day i could not find out where i will import private key. I think new version is too difficult for newbies also. Old is gold i missed this interface. But this version focused in the users safety.

I also hate the new version. I won't even login to my account anymore. I haven't done so for some of my accounts where I have more altcoins there. I notice we now have to give the privatekey instead while during that time we can only put our password and the keystore file and then you can already the coins.  Also I hate they they load all the ERC instead of just the only coins inside your wallet.

actually, on the current version there is still the feature that you are talking about but for me i like the current UI for myetherwallet because it's very stylish

honestly I prefer the old version of Myetherwallet, on the one hand it looks simple and also not confusing to mengaskesnya. but Myetherwallet now looks fancy and it's quite confusing when I want to use it. for me the most important thing is wallet security.

I think this new myetherwallet interface and new changed is best for me.Maybe the old version was weak enough thats why they decided to move to new. In my view new mew is quite good for me.

All these new features they are adding to their platform is to improve security on it, how many people have fall into the hands of scammers, there are malware that harvest people's Private keys when you use MEW, this is why there many many functions there now to be able to protect you from phishing and many other attacks.

I'm not sure what your issue really is. MEW simply added new ways to create/access wallet.

Did you not save the private key of your old wallet somewhere? MEW did gave a notice before that they will discontinue the vintage mew. You have an ample time to simply copy the private key and stored it somewhere safe. If you did that, you would not have any issue now accessing your old wallet.

If the above wasn't the case and you simply want the convenience of having to view your PK quickly, the best option perhaps is to create a wallet by Keystore File. It requires more step but you should be able to see your PK using that method.

I've used MEW many years ago... and today.
Honestly, I didn't find what I was looking for and I'll probably try another wallet.
The old version I remember was more straightforward.



Edit 2020-01-27: Today I had a second look on MEW. I've finally found what I needed. So it does have all the expected functionality. (However, I still don't like its new design/structure).

I believe that the version - Vintage was a transitional opportunity for users to switch to an updated platform. I myself got used to the old version of the site, but since everything is changing and improving, we need to keep up with these changes. So I think that nothing bad happened, you just need to start using the updated version of the site and you’re more used to it.

The previous previous versions was the best off them all. This new versions of MyEtherwallet are just awful and I won't use them...looks to much for me ...I don't need fancy interface..I just need a good healthy easy using interface that points you in the right direction since you enter the website. The new interface will not last long ...I do hope at least they will go back to the old version where people were at least happy.

the current version of myetherwallet is pretty good and yes, we can still access privatekey with third-party applications metamask, mewcx, dapper and this is in my opinion better because with this feature maybe scammers who always make phishing sites that resemble myetherwallet stop, so this version I think is far better.
