the op didn't just say that. he went on to point out the flaws with the new design. It would be great to hear the reasoning that went on behind those changes, but overall I agree with him. Most times I see a redesign (os or a website), there is net negative change in usability. Part of that is due to having to re-learn the UI. And I wouldn't mind this if there was actually a benefit, but often times I can't find it no matter how long I think about it. If users that are conscious about UX are not seeing the benefits, how is it a positive change?
