On the whole I prefer the look of iOS 7 but I do think Apple pushed it too far. The lack of a background on buttons makes identifying those interface elements unnecessarily harder. Backgrounds are allowed in flat design, just not gradient style drop shadows or fuzzy felt (e.g. iOS 6 Gamecenter).
Most of my criticisms of iOS 7 are to do with the user interface; the nightmare that is the music or calendar apps. Removing some of the ways of viewing your information is just annoying. Still, that does give app developers a chance to shine.
