I'll probably be deemed a heretic for saying this, but I really hope the standard 9.x interface never goes away. I looked at Corral for all of 5 minutes on a test system after it came out and immediately removed it. I looked at the new interface demo in 11 on a test system for about 10 minutes, and went back.
The new interfaces, at least to me, seem to be all about flash and bling over form/function. For the v11 demo, field labels and its content overlap and someone just has a fixation with huge blue buttons on some of the pages.
One of the main features I view periodically are the Reporting pages. Neither of the alternative interfaces seem to have that. In Corral, you could create little charts, but it's just not really as functional, and honestly should have been pre-created. I didn't see anything in the v11 demo interface at all. Yes, I know it's a work in progress, so don't flame me over my opinion on this, but the new interface needs some work before I'll be anywhere near ready to give up the current one.
