Now it's anyone's guess what the UI is going to look like! Worse then that whole sections are functionality are taken away on one version and then put back in with a horrid UI in a subsequent version! Of course if you say anything about it you are accused if "not getting with the program" or moaning!

I wonder if the UI changes were dictated by the fact that Jony Ive is now the arbiter of things UI?
No more skeumorphic things. Perhaps the Xcode engineers were directed to make those changes?
Just speculation on my part since I never DL new stuff until it has fermented in the barrel for a while ;}
