I don't find it any easier to use on my phone tbh, the old one had more things easily accessible, but as I have previously said, I have absolutely no issue with quickly using pinch-to-zoom and scrolling on desktop oriented sites on my phone, I do prefer that on a lot of sites tbh because mobile versions tend to limit functionality a lot sometimes, and make navigating cumbersome by having to click through several pages instead of having it all easily accessible on one.
I do have some issues with the site on my phone though as I mentioned in the bugs thread.
