My biggest gripe (aside from the flood of stupid bullshit in my newsfeed which isn't directly Facebook's fault) is that the search bar at the top no longer lets me go straight to people's profiles.
It'll go as far as giving autocompelte suggestions of people's full names, but then you click on the person you want and it gives you search results for them.
I think they did this so that when you search for a name they can show you all the other shit that the person is tagged in, but all I wanted was to get to their wall and post something.
Less charitably, by dumping you to an intermediate page and making you click again for their profile, FB gets to serve another batch of ads. And depending on what metric you measure it "increases engagement!!!" because it took me twice as long to get what I wanted.
