For me as a server owner who only uses mobile: the update made things far more difficult. I can no longer easily see which users can see which channels, I can’t see who is online easily, and it adds more steps to do what were simple tasks. Whatever things are changing, and while I hate gestures I can see how they are nice. Being disableable or being able to change what it does would also be nice.

All in all its just a good excuse to learn matrix.

I don’t hate change at all, but I do hate the update. These two things are not mutually exclusive.
