I'm really not sure what the new look and feels adds to MKTO, there is so much white space and line spacing that I see a lot less on one page than before which means a lot of scrolling. Also the fact that some things require more clicks does not make sense to me and feels like going backwards.
Ease of use for such applications is important, I do not see how the new look contributes to that, actually I prefer the old look and feel, it was clean, clear and showed a lot on just a small laptop screen!
