I'm already getting used to it. There are a few really bad mistakes -- the system "share" icon, for example -- but overall I think it's going to be all right. Definitely much more in line with modern web/computer design. I do miss buttons that look like buttons though.
Easy to see how after a few days the old software will look old and creaky. Mrs Verc will probably never agree to update, so I'm going to be looking at it for a long time.
