Please bring back the old experience & Architect mode—v7.x is a huge step backward

[xin260101]

I’m a long-time KiloCode user. After upgrading to version 7.x, I’m really disappointed.
Architect mode was removed entirely.
It was the only mode that could write real architecture docs and detailed design documents well. The new Plan mode cannot replace it at all — it only does task breakdown and produces shallow, low-quality output.
Why not maintain two versions instead of forcing everyone onto the new one?
If you want a simpler new version, that’s fine. But many users prefer and rely on the old modes and UI/UX. You shouldn’t abandon the old, mature version completely.
The new 7.x interaction is terrible.
AI prompts feel broken
It constantly gets stuck
I can no longer see output being written line by line
Now it just shows a loading state with zero progress visibility
Often it fails after a long wait
Cost skyrocketed, quality collapsed.
Before, the same design document cost about $1 and worked perfectly.
Now I spend $3+ and it still fails to produce usable output. Tokens are wasted, and efficiency is way down.
I loved KiloCode for its stability and professionalism.
7.x feels like a big step backward.
Please:
Bring back Architect mode
Restore the old output flow (line-by-line visible writing)
Consider supporting both old and new versions for users who prefer the original experience
Thank you.
