From bad to worse

Version: 20.0.1387.16 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Developer
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

Just installed 19.0. This ranks right up there with Vista and the Metro screen for brain dead 'improvements'.
Was bookmark sync discarded too?
Is the source for the bookmark bar still an editable text file? If so what is it?
I still have 1 computer which hasn't been corrupted by this update so I'll try reorganizing bookmarks into a single folder then importing into the bar. Has anyone tried this?
I see nothing indicating a shortcut to toggle the bookmarks bar. Is hoping for an undocumented keyboard shortcut an exercise in futility?
I don't see mention of panels anywhere. Were they too sacrificed on the alter of progress?
