The basic EC2 is definitively not better. If anything, they wasted a massive amount of effort moving to a new framework rather than just improving the old UI.

Oh, cost savings on the front page? Yes that must have been IMPOSSIBLE in the old UI framework.

Was the old UI perfect? Hell no. What is amazing with the redesign is how little usability boost it provides, and how much aggravation and bugs it has. Very serious bugs, like lists of infrastructure changing under your cursor just as you're about to do something.

There are still bad bugs with screen refreshes that don't remember search criteria.

Text inputs not allowing certain characters to be inputted, or not working at all.

You'd think a redesign would improve readability, flow, speed, and capability, and that a 60 billion dollar a year enterprise held up as the gold standard of industry IT could reengineer their core UIs effectively.
