I'm not a fan either. If they are going to jack with the layout, could they at least give us the ability to customize a bit, even control background color without using a third-party application?
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like the new layout. I do believe there is an option to go back to the old layout (at least there used to be, while it was still in beta). I like how they've cleaned it up; and I don't think that clicking "Share this" is such a big deal--I link to my photos all the time.
