Never been a fan of Metro/flat UI and "the new Coke" is no different. I feel like this redesign started a couple of years ago when the flat trend was really popular and was just finished now. It already feels dated. Information density is terrible compared with the previous UI, and I have to have my Chrome set on 80% zoom just to get some semblance of the right amount of actionable information on my screen at one time.
I love Marketo and everything it's done for my companies and my career, but I'm really not feeling this interface. :(
If anyone wants to bend an ear to hear my complaints, I'd be happy to offer them in a constructive way :)

The font size is too big. I am spending my entire morning scrolling. I ended up zooming out of the view in Chrome, but I don't see the benefit of the font at this size.

We're having a hell of a time right now trying to get anything done.
Load times are even worse than usual, and even when things do load we're getting auto-save errors.
Not very pleased right now, it's a Thursday and we have stuff we need to do that we rely on Marketo for. This isn't a system I use because I want it to be pretty. I just want it to work.

Hi Neil,
Can you tell me what is happening? Where are you getting auto-save errors?
Thanks, Cheryl

We're getting autosave errors smart campaigns where we are trying to include advanced filters on the smart lists.

I am having to scroll a lot more both up and down AND left to right. I don't think the UI has added the much value to the overall user experience. Seems they did it just for cosmetic purposes.
If you are still having issues with load times and errors, can you please email me directly at cheryl@marketo.com. There was an issue unrelated to the new UI that caused this and we have since fixed it, but want to make sure everyone's experience is positive.
