I was a bit confused by the interface but I started using with in about 10 to 30 seconds of realizing what twas up. Expect a podcast when and if my site comes back up. I won't go in to what happened but I'm trying desperately to get the podcast up again. but over all I love the new interface. It reminds me of an app I'v eased before but I cannot put my finger on it at the moment.
