> This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint. Just how is this NOT just a fresh coat of paint? It is precisely the same controls, providing precisely the same effects, but looking different. And probably requiring just a little more attention and thought to actually use - so the device becomes slightly more of an attention trap/sink :( |

I am not sure how someone would come to this conclusion if they are actually using it. This comment feels more like “I’ve seen screenshots and this is the conclusion I have drawn from what I have seen. The elements of this UI change go far beyond icons.
I’ve been using it daily since the dev release. It’s most definitely not the same controls at least within the apps that use some standard control and navigation elements. It feels new, but still familiar enough that I don’t think beyond the first few uses will require any additional thought.
Personally I was surprised at how much it conveyed the concept in my mind just through its visuals of the touch experience that I was interacting with a “thing” more than just a UI element. I fully expected to hate it, but don’t.
