After upgrading to Visual Studio 2019 I noticed the very unpleasant change of the "new project" window, as announced here. As with much of the community I totally hate the new useless window and would pretty much prefer to use the normal old one.
To show what I'm refering to, here are screenshots of the old and the new screens:
VS 2017 and earlier:
VS 2019:
This is somewhat similar to this other question asking about the start page, but this time, it's about the new project dialog.
How can I restore the old, full featured dialog instead of the broken new one?

When you create a new project, Visual Studio saves it to its default location, %USERPROFILE%\source\repos. To change this location, go to Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Locations. For more information, see Options dialog box: Projects and Solutions > Locations.
Officially it is not possible and Microsoft ignores all negative feedback about it.
But there is now an extension called Classic 'New Project' Dialog that brings back the old and better tree based dialog:
After installing the extension, enable it in Settings
you can use it when you create a new project
I tested it in VS 2019 Update 2 Preview 1 and it works fine.
