I personally like that the top of the screen goes straight to the menu, and lambasting that design desicion as "stupid" is taking it a bit far. Before, you first had to tap to bring up the top and bottom bars, and then tap the top bar to get to the menu. This way saves a tap - and speaking as someone who has been heavily afflicted with the "freeze on blank screen" bug, this saves a whole lot of taps. Also, it saves a tap whenever you want to change brightness.
I say keep it like this!
