where did my playlists go with this new version of iTunes?

Try this to bring back the "old" iTunes view

Ctrl + / brings back the status bar

Ctrl + s brings back the Side Bar

Other handy shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + B it will bring back the column browser.

All these keys are under the View menu option .

To show the Menu bar, in the upper left corner of iTunes select the "Show Menu Bar" on the flyout window
