Can anyone explain what the benefits are? Everyone I know that uses a mobile or a small screen hasn't noticed a change, but it's supposedly supposed to look better..? And then for larger screens everything is squished together and a bunch of negative black space has been added to the outside edges.

The only mentions of "benefits" have only said things like "change is a good thing" with no actual reasons... and I can't seem to think of any reasons. No one I've talked to can either.
