How do I downgrade the launcher? I hate this new one. It looks like garbage. Can I please have my launcher back to the old version? I liked that one much more.
Thank you! I hope the old launcher isn't discontinued, because it's actually good. I despise the new launcher, and I honestly hope it's discontinued instead of the old one. I don't see what's wrong with the old one, but I am happy to still be able to use it for now.
The new one its more efficient and its native instead of being in java
I don't get the big fuss about removing java. When I heard the native one was coming to OS X, I was happy for about 10 minutes that I could uninstall java, until I remembered mods and just about everything else needs java installed. Unless you are that vanilla only person, I don't see this being much of an improvement at all. And the performance wasn't increased by much. Either your game is playable or it isn't playable. The performance gap was around 3 fps, which isn't important to almost any gamer.

You dont need to download java first to run the launcher. You run the launcher, it downloads it for you(and the version that Mojang wants you to run instead of the Java 6 that runs on OSX).
Also, new launcher its a new code base where they can play and add new stuff easier than the old launcher

You can still chose to use the latest Java version with the new launcher as I do. To be honest it is nice having a Java version self contained for troubleshooting mod issues without the risk associated with using an outdated Java in the browser. There are some nice features such as being able to change your skin from within the launcher itself.
The browser one is separated from the client one most likely, and the only reason Mojang doesnt update to the newest one is that some intel drivers crash with java 8 update 61 or newer

Go to https://minecraft.net/en/download/alternative, and download the Second Minecraft.exe available on that page.
Mind that the old launcher might be discontinued
