Yes indeed, the new layout is extremely confusing, everything everywhere all over the place...
Cannot figure where to go, what to look...
The old layout was clear, simple, easy to use, and you were able to get all news in just a quick look. But now...
As we are saying in (real life) aeronautics:
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!" as well as "KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid!!"
I'm sorry but I'm one of the nay sayers as well.
