It's not 'fundamentally' broken, but is broken enough it shouldn't be left on the production environment until several of the issues are addressed. There is existing infrastructure (added however recently) to allow users to opt in to beta-testing features, and let them switch said features on and off en-masse for testing.
A lot of my complaints really boil down to Fitts' law and Accessibility concerns, I'll admit. Not many web designers even understand the former, and the latter often only gets passing investigation, and in this case I believe the redesign is a huge step back in both categories which is why I'm so annoyed.
And when you're paying for a service (Hi! Paid Member here. =^.^=) and suddenly that service makes a change you find distasteful, what other choice do you have than to 'take your ball and go home' and let the service-provider know why you did so?
