Buah, thats really one ugly UI!
The update to iOS7 certainly didn't change things to the better for me.

I really think it isn't that cut and dried. I like some things about the new UI, but don't like some other things. I do like the removal of skeuomorphic silliness that makes some apps look very fisher price-ish.
However, some of the underlying changes they made I am happy about... allowing apps to run in the background is nice... now I don't have to ensure I open my podcast app before I go to bed or in the AM to ensure it will d/l new content.
I also like the Activation Lock... I hope it isn't defeated so people will stop stealing these phones... my niece had one stolen right out of her hands in New York City.
I also like the ability to open the notifications from the lock screen and the control center. Siri has certainly improved and can do more stuff now wrt to controlling the device. I read somewhere you will be able to specify which map app siri uses but I haven't seen how yet.
I was hoping for the ability to have an icon grid like andriod rather than the flow layout and also want widgets...although notification from lock screen helps that a bit because apps can put info there. Syncing notifications across devices is nice too... (even though it doesn't affect me yet, however I might get an iPad and it will).
Oh an auto app updates... it's about time.
So, I think iOS 7 was well worth the $0 I paid for it.
