Definitely, soon. But the issues in the following milestones have to be addressed first: a, b. We will enter feature freeze soonish.
The main benefit of the new workflow is that we can avoid duplicating functionality available from git. But unfortunately it only works when Emacsclient knows how to connect to the Emacs server. Also some features of the old commit mode have not yet made their way to the new mode.
The old workflow might be partially restored by offering vc-git-log-edit as an option. Nothing decided yet.
Magit recently switched from magit-log-edit-mode to git-commit-mode to edit commit messages. This caused a few problems (e.g. see this thread), and these issues are being investigated and addressed:
- In progress 801 - magit-commit-internal still has serious quirks
- fixed 805 - Magit cannot access Emacs server on Windows
- fixed 771 - Window management is awkward
- Full lists of related open and closed issues.
The command used to initiate a commit (c) is now a popup like other major commands. This was done for consistency with the rest of Magit and because it is no longer possible to turn on --amend while editing the message. Some people who have initially complained about this eventually come to prefer the new way; hang in there once you have unlearned the old key bindings you might like the change too.
This will be fixed. But we won't restore toggling between --amend/new commit while editing the message. Doing that makes very little sense.
Unfortunately some bad key bindings were chosen in the key popup. -a was used to mean --amend but for consistency with git -a should mean --all. We are fixing this in two steps to avoid tears when someone presses -a and means --amend and not --all. The move has been completed
- we went from
-a=>--amend,-A=>--all - to
-r=>--amend,-a=>--all,-Aunbound

If you are using the development version of Emacs you have to also use the development version of Magit by either using Melpa or installing Magit from git. This is due to an incompatible change in delete-directory in Emacs-bzr.
