Does anyone else not like it, or is it just me?

The Google logo looks great in its flat incarnation, but I really don't like the new buttons or the left side bar when you've done a search. I think I'm too used to looking at the top of the page for options.

I'm with you. I don't like the options on the left at all.

It takes away from the simplicity and what's the point anyway? The options are only a repeat what's on the top..

The top ones do, but the bottom set ("more search tools") don't. There's more options for image search, too.

It looks to me like they have designed it for touch screens.

As a whole, I don't mind it, but I do detest the horrible black mobile image site when you try to view an image at full size, which doesn't even remotely fit the Google theme in the slightest:

Not really related to the new feel, but Google's tendency to put relevant images at the top of your search threw me this morning when googling 'spinning bird kick'

Wowsers! :D

I preferred the old style of Google but then I hate change of any kind.

Don't like it, feels squashed in. The old google made full use of the screen new google doesn't.

I don't like that they appear to have removed the ability to click on the word you searched for to instantly get dictionary and thesaurus lookup for it.
