And I find the slight (or more pronounced) brightness gradients more tolerable from top to bottom than in the direction of reading. But it's the current trend, so people must consider it acceptable. I accept it because I have no choice, but I would like to see the classic design return.

I love the asymmetrical design - it's just perfect for the way I hold my ereaders, and I don't change hands very often either. I guess it's not so nice for folks who hold their devices with two hands or change hands frequently.
As to aesthetics, that's not important to me - I'm not the type who cares much about such things. YMMV.
