Everyone will get the new home screen with the next firmware release. Kobo have made some changes with what it being displayed, but I still don't like it as much as the old one.
Do you think GeoffR patch to disable the new home screen will still work in the next firmware release?

No idea. If it was my code, I would be removing the old home screen completely. But, Kobo do tend to leave code in, so maybe it will be possible.

I still haven't used the new home screen. What's wrong with it?

It's more for Kobo (advertisements), less for the reader. I personally don't like that new home screen as I cannot see what I want to see, but will see what I don't want to see.

Does it still display ads/links to the store even when you never sync or use wifi?

That's not so good... Well maybe they'll see sense and allow it to be minimized or hidden, or GeoffR will find a way to patch it out.

That is very bad news (to me). I strongly dislike that new home screen. Re-thinking purchase of this device. Maybe I should get the original H2O instead.

Remember what ever device you get will have the new home screen if you upgrade the f/w to current version.

The original H2O can be patched to use the old home screen, so not worried about that. I probably wouldn't use the current firmware anyway, since I don't see any advantage.

It's strange, but everyone seems to think the only change in the firmware is the home screen.

Well I did try out whatever the current fw is on a Mini (4.xxx), but went back to 3.19.xxx. I am sure there are other changes, but I'm happy with that one, and I detest the new home screen. Do you have any screen shots of what the modified new home screen will look like?

There's probably other things too. But if one change breaks something that I like and I really detest that one change, I'll not update at all. Especially as all other changes are minor (for me) if they even are used by me. So far, I've seen no change that I can't live without and can overcome my repugnance of that new home screen (I've loved the old one since I saw it for the first time and found it fit my needs perfectly)
