I hope to be pushing out a new version with the new guild window and revised chat window today.
No there isn't any way to apply a custom UI to a single toon.
To answer the question "Why anyone would want the current chat window" it maximizes the chat text area when you're not actually chatting, reducing dead space. Particularly usefull if you use several chat windows on screen and/or don't need to watch what you type and/or don't chat much.
I personally have no problem typing without watching the input and don't mind mousing over on those rare occations I do need to see what I've typed.
In any event, its an option. Didn't occure to me anyone would have a problem reverting to the 3.4 version or downloading the Oreic addon if they didn't like it. As I've said elsewhere, this next release will include an optional simple chat window file for those that don't like the hidable chat. Also hidable chat will have an option to disable hidable input for each chat window by showing the titlebar or using specifc titles.
