I have held off upgrading because in my consideration the new home screen takes away a whole lot of functionality and replaces it with little new.
Someone put it this way earlier, and I agree with them - The old home screen felt like it was my device. The new screen gives the impression that the device belongs to Kobo and I merely lease it.

I feel like a heretic or sellout.
I used to be one of the "non-approving" of the old new home screen. But now, with the new new home screen, I don't mind it at all, as others have said. The vast majority of my screen, so far, is all mine, dedicated to my own books/collections/previews, with my reading stats underneath. I really don't miss the random hodgepodge of dismissable squares.
The new quick access menu is an improvement, I find definitely worth while.
Ideally, the home screen would be completely configurable and personalizable, but if you try sometimes, well you just might find, you get what you need.
