I personally hate it. Not exactly sure what the point was when it is inferior in different ways. One of those 'if it isn't broken don't fix it' scenarios. Sure it might get better later which I really hope it does get better if we are stuck with it, but I don't have good impressions so far.
I don't hate it. But then again, I haven't found anything that's been taken away from me with the new format. Except for the option to hide spoilers in my comments.
