Yes, change is always good.
Let's ask Coke how "New Coke" worked out. Let's ask Sony how fundamental changes to SWG worked out.
Now, NOT changing in response to customer demand is bad, very bad. Let's ask GM how not responding to changing customer demands worked out. Let's ask RIM how not responding fast enough to competing products has worked out.
But bottom line, when you change a functional interface for something like this abomination, you lose a ton of goodwill with your customer base. It does not matter how quickly, how positively, you respond to the customer outcry. The goodwill generated by fast action to fix the UI is far outweighed by the initial loss of goodwill by the release of this.
Getting back to my point about NOT responding to customer demand, I would love to hear the reasoning from CCP management WHY this UI change was prioritized over other projects.
Creating this UI was a massive undertaking, requiring multiple man-years of coding. WHY was this project tackled over things like "ring mining", a more complete revamp of T1 frigs vs a piecemeal approach, or graphics for all ships, not a subset?
CCP has got to be more in tune with its customer base with regard to what they feel is important. And if you do, for goodness sakes, listen to your customer when in beta test (Ie. SISI feedback). Otherwise, you end up like New Coke moments like this. |

If you read the forums, you'll see a lot of people who do think the new UI is an improvement over what we had before.
So, now that we've established that there is a group of people who likes the new UI, and another group that doesn't like the new UI, who do you think CCP should listen to? |

nice NEX uniform you got there OP.... The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

I know that at least three of the people here telling the OP to cram a sock in it have posted against the UI in other threads. Way to jump on the bandwagon, guys. I only ever emerge from the shadows when my main is banned. |

If things didn't change - men would still be running around in furs going "Ugh...you my *****." ...and living in caves. Thank Gaia for change. Change is good.
BTW try playing EVE on a computer from 12 years ago and let me know how that works out for you. |

Change for the sake of change isn't good. Change because there is a better way IS a good thing. This is most definitely NOT a change for the better. DEATH TO THE NEW UI! |
