Am I the only one who feels the update is a step backwards? There used to be an extra tab along the bottom, and they were customizable using the standard UITabController feature in which you can drag tabs from the More tab to any of the other tab locations. No longer. Plus, background updates seem to cause a lot of lag and sometimes complete lack of responsiveness. Makes the app much less efficient to use.

A rag by any other name (or any other platform) will be just as gd-awful.
