iOS7 is a beautiful new path in the history of these amazing devices. Are there a few warts here and there? Sure. That's part of the process of evolving anything. With user feedback and experience future evolutionary steps will improve upon this and nobody will remember the warts.

Usability? There are loads of examples of usability not being as much of a problem as many make it out to be. You can start with Windows as an example of something that billions of people use without problems while usability experts blog about how horrible it is --yet five year olds in schools all over the world seem to not have any issues. Another one is computer games. No two games seem to have the same interface (save such things as basic navigation commands) yet people adapt and become very adept at operating them. I always take usability reports with a grain of salt. Some are legitimate and honest, most are less than that.
