They've been using it for GV already (which I am a very heavy user of), so I'm used to it. But I have found that it takes longer to load.

Even if you go back, it won't be for long. Might as well learn to adapt.

It's really hard to read/see emails. The writing is a light black font on a grayish background. Really difficult to see......

in the new settings drop down menu (not on the top left corner) there are options for "display density" and there u can choose from a few options

It feels kind of Apple-like, with its (dumbed down) icon buttons

One thing to keep in mind, there's no difference if you spend a week getting used to it now or a month from now. But if you switch now, you are being a guinea pig for all the bugs (though you may also be able to get the to change something via the feedback button).

on the top right there is an option to put it back...and back it went.

I did give them feedback saying they should allow people to keep the old look should they choose to.
