A lot of people complained about Gmail's new compose interface. Google addressed some of the issues with the "full-screen" mode, but there are still people who dislike the new UI.
If you want to go back to the old interface, there's a Chrome extension that does this. I rarely recommend third-party apps that change Gmail, especially if they're not from a reliable company or developer. I checked the extension's source code and I was surprised to see how it works: it only changes your browser's user-agent to IE8's user-agent, but only when loading Gmail. I'm not sure why the extension is not restricted to mail.google.com.
Obviously, this is a temporary workaround. At some point, Google will stop supporting Internet Explorer 8 and this will no longer work. It's a better idea to get used to the new interface.
