I like the general idea behind the new compose but I hate how hard it is to get to the formatting controls. I'm somebody who constantly does funny indents, manually links and quotes things.
The new formatting bar that has to be clicked first is painful. I have a ton of screen space.
Does anybody know of a gmail-install or browser-installed extension that would allow a permanent formatting bar at the top of the body – more like the old compose screen?

What about that Chrome-extension: Retro Compose for Gmail™?
However I would prefer a userscript because I'm usually not using Chrome.
