 * There is a trend to move away from the WordPress standard layout in admin area,
   and now ACF follow this trend after many many years to keep the back end clean
   and understandable for common users.
 * The checkboxes are replaced by slided on and off “app” setting layout. And clients
   do not get what is on or off. They want the simple checkbox, and so do we.
 * Also, it might look nice on ACF developer team Theme, but with other backend 
   Themes it does not work.
 * As we are using complex and huge fields settings, they destroy the flow, take
   to much space and all documentations must be changed from “check” to “slide” 
   and more.
 * Keep the backend standard on UI and do not clutter the layout.
 * Very very sad that ACF is doing this.
