This really feels like a design update for the sake of a design update. It's one of the more baffling aspects of interface design and improvement, and I frequently question the motives of companies who are so willing to uproot a experience that has succeeded for X number of months or years, and completely turn it upside down. For what? I realize a massive app change can be adapted to, and the new process can become second-nature.
Progress and change are great; they make the world go round, they keep people like us employed, and they keep us engaged in what we do. I think we're unfortunately in the midst of such purposeless change these days when it comes to applications these days, and this update reflects that.
