iOS 7 experiences

Is it just me, or is Apple's new iOS 7 just bunch of hot air?
I got the released version immediately to my iPhone and iPad. My initial reaction: the new colors are disgusting. Perhaps person using the new user interface needs to be drunk or on drugs to like them.
After half an hour of browsing archived 1995 black and white webpages, I was able to start using the painter's color sheet ... erhm... iOS 7. There was nothing improved there. Calendar had been made worse, month view didn't display entries anymore. The top left "bar" indicator had been turned into weird dots. Now it's not possible to ask "how many bars do you have?".
In the spirit of trying to be positive I found a single thing I liked. iCloud supports notes now. That I've been really waiting for. Hopefully they finally fixed the iPad's losing APN-settings bug. I have to admit, that the new swipe-screen looks good, much better than the classic old one. But something funny happens when you swipe, too many colors burn trough my eyes.
The official list of new features is here, but I still cannot find anything with a "wow"-factor in it.
