I've found a lot of people are using "the usability is terrible" to mean, "It's different and I don't like it." Do you have an empirical evidence to suggest the usability being good or bad, or better or worse than before?

Takes up more UI space, scrolling is slower than paging, takes more system resources. Harder to visually scan though and find things.

In terms of empirical evidence, I watch people spend a lot more time using search with tiles so they are flat out slower.
