But why. Why that hate for every new UI nowadays .
Usability is exactly the same (for better or worse), it just looks a bit different.

But why. Why that hate for every new UI nowadays .
AmEx recently redesigned their site. Before, I could easily see all my credit card transactions with minimal clicks and scrolling. Now, everything is enlarged by 1.25x (probably a poorly done responsive design) and I find myself scrolling a lot more.
The Gmail iOS app redesign from last autumn was poorly done, too. They waste precious horizontal space on your phone to display a circle with an avatar or the person's initials. I don't need that shit for email. I just need the sender's name.
If designers focused on providing the information a user wants with a minimal number of interactions, I think there'd be less hate.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I know someone on the design team and they actually did user testing against the changes, and it's a mix of usability improvements and aesthetics. You can't really say something is less usable without some evidence.
Ah, so that's why they broke everyone's avatars overnight. Much usability. So aesthetic. Wow. ..Snark aside, given that this is the company that won't even let people see their tweets in reverse chronological order, I don't put a whole lot of stock in their testing. Were actual users involved, or was it a tiny focus group?

For example, there is a reason[1] why round avatars are a bad idea. Although I must say that twitter.com seems to have improved in terms of keyboard navigation and the visible keyboard focus. [1]: https://twitter.com/MattNavarra/status/875389431372533760
I miss out on so many tweets I would actually find interesting because of this.
Sorry Twitter, but no, you're not capable of figuring out what I enjoy reading.
Can I just get a normal, chronological feed back again? None of this "We thought you'd find this interesting" crap? I miss out on so many tweets I would actually find interesting because of this. Sorry Twitter, but no, you're not capable of figuring out what I enjoy reading.

Because oftentimes the new UI is designed by someone who read too much on whitespace and aesthetics and sacrifices information density. AmEx recently redesigned their site.

It's bandwaggoning that people promptly get over
