Steemit have different type of users eg. authors, curators, developer etc. These main group of users are authors and curators and both of them prefer certain type of front end to make their work easier. There are also users who prefer previous Steemit front end compare to new front end today. Thus, I would like suggest Steemit have the option for users to switch to different front end, this can be done by user via a drop down menu in home page or modify the URL. For Steemit developer, this can be done by moving old front end folder to sub category which is very easy to do.
Option 1: Switch to Different Front End by Modify URL
Steemit.com - Latest Front End
Steemit.com/v1/ - Previous Version 1 Front End
Steemit.com/v2/ - Previous Version 2 Front End
Steemit.com/c1/ - Front End for Curators
Option 2: Switch to Different Front End by Drop Down Menu in Home Page (Any Empty Space at Header)
Example: Steemit.com - Latest Front End
Example: Steemit.com/v2/ - Previous Version 2 Front End (Screentshoot from CNSteem)
