The redesign is generally fine, but they definitely moved a few features to places that are less convenient. It's not a major issue for me, but I do find the climate controls more annoying now. They haven't done another update yet, so fingers crossed that they incorporate some of this feedback.
On the other hand, I'm one of those luddites that thinks that having to operate a touch screen while driving is by definition bad design. I dread the day when I can't operate my car by touch anymore, so the more people complain about these things, the better my chances when buying my next car.
