Hi,
No, the old metadata editor was broken. It would not allow dates to be set properly and confusingly treated an element like an attribute (creator vs contributor) and even worse shoehorned incorrect values into fixed table columns, and was not flexible enough to work with epub3 metadata nor able to be even easily modified to do so.
Exactly what issues (other than simple change in general) are you having issues with? You can choose which metadata elements to add in a very similar way to the old interface. It already sets the language for you, and allows you to easily fill in a title. It allows users to edit the fields in a similar way too so adding additional metadata works the same way as the old interface.
If you have trouble with setting or doing something specific with metadata, just ask.
Sorry but, Sigil will not be moving back to something that fundamentally broken nor offering it as an option.
