The new look is nice. Sleeker, cleaner - nice. That said, the product feels a lot slower now. They added a lot of ajax-y elements, and something as simple as showing "Later" tasks on the "My tasks" page now takes up to 5 seconds to load (tested on multiple machines and networks).
Also, Asana didn't _really_ need a new coat of paint. It needed (and needs!) a _fundamental_ UX/UI re-thinking. It still feels just as clunky to use as ever - it just looks a bit fresher.
