They move the buttons in top right corner under the files opened. Now you have 3 options instead of 2!

Design editors, such as the Layout Editor and Navigation Editor, now provide a Split view that enables you to see both the Design and Code views of your UI at the same time. To enable split view, click the Split icon in the top-right corner of the editor window.
