It was a concept of Scratch 3's UI made by designerd in late 2016. They also were experimenting with switching up Scratch Cat's design to something more animal-like, which was scrapped.

Also on the point of user interface decisions - the layout of the Scratch 3 editor we currently have most closely resembles a UI concept from August 2016 for tablet devices, while desktop was going to get the layout we see above.
The page that I sourced these images from also presents a Scratch Jr style tablet UI prototype and a mobile UI prototype, where the blocks are also laid out in the Scratch Jr style.

For the suggestion, I really want this added because it looks A LOT more modern.

However, this interface lacks a lot of the illustrations that the editor has (e.g the paintbrush on the Costume category button).

I prefer the new menu design, It is thinner, and also has extensions at the end whilst this doesn't. The problem with that design is that there isn't really a place for extensions to fit in.

I know this suggestion isn't about this, but I'm glad that they scrapped that scratch cat.

• Blocks are separated into tabs like in earlier versions as opposed to being free-flowing - I actually like the free-flowing list. I think it's fun to scroll through all the blocks, and I'm assuming they thought the list was a lot more friendly to newcomers than a bunch of tabs to look through. Thanks to the different block colors (for the most part, never forget events and control) it's not confusing at all and I find it quite fun. You can still click on the categories if you really want to. Maybe I could write a userscript for this if there isn't one already though; it sounds like it could be fun, and I haven't yet touched the 3.0 editor itself when it comes to writing scripts.
  
• Pen is a default category - I've discussed my reasons for agreeing with this decision over here. That also applies to the music and video sensing blocks, though you can't actually see if they are still present in the main palette here.
  
• “Variables” is still called “Data” - One of the few things here that I actually prefer. I've discussed my reasons for preferring the original name over here.
  
• No delete button on sprites - Really want this as well. If you need to delete a sprite then you should have to right click it, or maybe they could bring back 2.0's drag-and-drop widgets.
  
• 2.0 info button on sprites - Not sure what this button would do considering that all the info was put into the sprite header even in this mock-up.
  
• Rotation style has its own section in the sprite header - This was grouped into the rotation pop-up, and I think that it's fine there.
  
• “Draggable” toggle has its own section in the sprite header - This has been removed, and you can now only alter this with a block (which is nice since that block didn't exist in earlier versions, one of the few 3.0 additions which were actually very useful and practical). It would be nice to give this a spot on the sprite header but unlike rotation style I don't know where you could put it and it probably doesn't deserve a top-level position.
  
• “Backdrop” was reverted to “background” as in 1.x - One of the various 1.x ideas which were revisited while designing 3.0, but clearly not one which stuck. I have no feelings either way about this; they don't need to change it back but then again they never needed to change it in the first place. Renaming it to the “backdrop” would've made more sense if sprites were renamed to “actors” as well but they clearly didn't go that route so I don't know why they did that.

Mobile users cry

2.3 Set the editor to look like older versions of Scratch
Some users prefer the look and feel of the Scratch 2.0 editor, and have suggested that the editor look like Scratch 2.0, but still run off of HTML5 like Scratch 3.0 does. However, this would be more complicated for educational and documentation purposes. It could be confusing if someone is trying to learn Scratch from someone who is using a completely different layout of the editor than them.
