A few first impressions:
1. Why oh why must we always shove everything into modal dialogs? In the "old" interface, each contact had its own separate page and individual URL. Now that every contact is a "card" that appears as a modal dialog, I can no longer link to it directly, and any card that I'm viewing is lost as soon as I close the tab or navigate away from the page. (Note that I don't necessarily believe that every possible application state should be represented by a URL, but something as discrete as a single contact seems pretty important to me.)
2. The JS captures my Cmd-F / Ctrl-F shortcut and focuses the search bar in the header. To me, this is a huge no-no. Sometimes I just want to find some regular text on a page, not send my every keystroke to Google via a search box that gives me "helpful" page suggestions from Google+.
EDIT: Just noticed that you can still access the browser's built-in search by hitting Cmd-F twice. A bit odd, but at least it's not completely overridden.
3. The show-checkbox-on-hover behavior[1] in the list looks like something's broken. It also doesn't look like a checkbox until you actually click on it[2], which kind of defeats the purpose of a checkbox.

I don't mean to be super negative. I think there are a lot of nice improvements here too, just a few things that bother me as a "power user".
