Apart from the stiched leather and green felt (+ some other skeumorphism) I do not understand how the old gradients and shadows cannot be considered "true to form" and why they had to change everything.
They should have done a thurrow cleanup, but not gone this far. In my opinion there is not better way than to utilize gradients and shadows/depth to layout graphical elements on a computer screen.
Seems like the apple designers got cocky and though they could pull of some kind of minimalizm-bauhausish-überdesign and ended up with an emperor without clothes. In my experience, this is not how real design works.
If people think the old style got boring, then I think that will happen exponentially faster with the flat style, which in my opinion is far less expressive.
