I don't like it, it's another exercise in taking a functional website and 'modernising' it by making it look like a mobile app (i.e. the make it look attractive to kindergarten kids school of design).

For my own use cases it's made it more annoying to get to the 7 day Canberra forecast, made the local radar harder to see, and I'm not noticing a link to the written ACT region forecast which I will want to look at in winter.

We? Who is we? You don't speak for everyone and it seems to be an over generalisation.

got some facts for that ( I'm a gen xer )

It's stupid logical fallacies and talk like that that lead people to vote for arseholes.

But anyway tell me about that internet thing you young whippersnapper? ;) I've only been using it since 1982
