Have you used it? Are you familiar with what it's doing or how it's doing it? Or just immediately dismissing it for no reason? For me, as a developer, it's fixing tons of things that were broken and allowing me to do lots of amazing new things with my apps that I haven't yet - while still letting the user dictate behavior and usage.

Like what? Background fetching is great. What else? For the end user, iOS 7 is a UI fiasco and a massive regression. Spindly, illegible text. A ridiculously degraded calendar, which no longer shows a concise list of a day's appointments but instead forces you to scroll through every hour of the day, hunting for whatever it is you have scheduled. "Transparency", a stupid UI idea that came and went a decade ago because it SUCKED. Why do I want to see the crap BEHIND the UI I'm trying to use? Oh, but I don't really see it; I see a mottled mess of a background, because it's "blurred." This of course renders text illegible in many cases, because the background may be any combination of colors. There are the tiny, undefined control areas. The invisible controls. The unresponsive controls. The camera icon on the lock screen is a great example of Apple's UI stupidity (which predates iOS 7). People are still trying to tap this thing, because Apple inexplicably doesn't put an ARROW above it to show you WTF you're supposed to do. Why? There's no excuse for it.
