I hate it. Mine switched when I was out to lunch so it was a shock to come back to a totally different screen. I really dislike the maximize,restore,minimize for the widgets. I have a multi-tabbed browser for a reason. The left navigation leaves lots of wasted space. The new Gmail gadget doesn't offer the option to show 0 emails. I only use it for new mail notification. I don't want the top message in my box to be visible to anyone who comes by my desk. Clicking on a stock in the Finance widget, doesn't bring up the normal Google finance page. I might have to find a new home page. :-(
