Accessibility
The new interface works on fewer browsers than the Classic interface.
Do you dispute this?

Speed
In addition to the obstacles to workflow introduced in the interest of a 'clean look' [see (4), below], whenever I use the new interface I seem to spend most of my time looking at an animated graphic and waiting for things to happen.
This doesn't happen nearly so much with Classic.
[And it never used to happen at all with the original 'Old' interface, back in the days when Fastmail lived up to its name.]
I haven't quantified this slowing-up on lower-spec computers, but if you doubt my word, I will do... just as soon as I find time to get onto the public computers in the library.
[I am unable to do this at home owing to point (1), above]

Stability
The new interface crashes more often than Classic.
Do you dispute this?
(4)
Ergonomics
Many controls that are in constant view and therefore instantly available on Classic are hidden away in the new interface behind menus and links.
This means much more mouse navigation and clicking is entailed in the new interface than when doing the same things on Classic.
Do you dispute this?
(5)
Functionality
Not counting the functions that formerly worked in Classic but have been deliberately removed,
the number of functions that are available in Classic but not in the new interface is significantly larger than the number of functions that are available in the new interface but not in Classic.
