I was disappointed with ICS, I was expected an overhaul but what we got was polishing of the existing metaphors. Basically they chose 1 way to design things and stuck with it, whereas in the pre-ICS days the designs were all over the place. However they didn't really rethink any major UI aspect. The multitasking got the biggest overhaul, but that was just a superficial change. The UI is still a carousel of apps/widgets (most widgets being useless). Nothing like Windows Phone's pinning. Nothing like the N9's swipe. Still the same ole, just with a fresh coat of paint.
