I agree with you. I'm not a heavy Kobo user, but I've got two Kobo Touches set up. The one I plan on using has the WiFi turned off because I don't want it to update past 3.3.1 -- which looks almost exactly like your 3.15. I chose 3.3.1 because (as I understood it) this was the oldest version that would allow the Full Screen hack (which I like and wanted). I also wanted chess.

My other Touch is at 4.5.9587 and it looks almost exactly like your example. No chess. Uglier.

I also noticed that, when I had the newer version of software on the Touch that now has 3.3.1, it seemed more sluggish. I didn't test it long enough to really tell without a doubt, but the 3.3.1 version feels more responsive to me.

So, for what it's worth, there's at least one person who agrees with your assessment. I think the older firmware's front-end was better.
