Since it's out of beta now and everybody has it, I though I'd see what everybody thought. 
Plain and simple,  
RAGE if you wanna .. or say you like it.  
 
I can say thus far,  
I hate the white , It makes no sense to make giant blocks with a tiny font for your gamerscore/notifications, HATE the sounds, so on so forth.   

Love it. It's amazing how far the interface has come from the original ugly blades one.

I love the new Dashboard. It's really grown on me over the past month. It looks nicer, works faster, and I really dig the Zune app and updated avatars. I can't look at the old Dash without cringing now.

I think it looks great. It just looks so much cleaner than before. Then again, I've only looked at it for about a minute, so these are just my absolute first initial impressions.

Topics like these with updates like this always make me smile xD
 
Didn't check it yet, I'll stay neutral!

I'm looking forward to getting home and getting it. The pictures I've seen so far, and the early previews, seemed to show that this was going to be a nice improvement.  Hopefully it won't run into the same lag issues that came about the last time they updated the dashboard.

" Topics like these with updates like this always make me smile xD  Didn't check it yet, I'll stay neutral! "

if its new, 70 to 90 percent of people hate it

I love it. It's cleaner, simpler, and things load so much quicker.

It's very elegant.

I like it.  It also doesn't matter whether we like it or not, it isn't going anywhere.

I think it's great. Updating the avatar clothes was kind of funny. All the clothes going past, then a kat on a skateboard. The new intro is cool, the 'tutorial' at the start IU think will be great for young and inexperienced users. I think the whole thing is better.

It's a slight improvement, but that grey floor is still a waste of screen-estate.

It's goody in tha hoody. I have to check out the updated ESPN app. It was kinda buggy during beta.

I've had it since the beta, so it's pretty much nothing new to me now. I prefer it in comparison to the prior dashboard (which I cannot even remember now), but that isn't saying that this one is incredible.

well design is a lot better now but I have the felling that it handles and loads slower

Besides it moving and loading some stuff a little slower I really like it a lot.  
Then again I also loved when Xbox.com made changes and now actually look like a website built and designed by people who knows what the fuck they're doing

prefer the xmb.... oh no he didn't! 
looks good so far. i do kind've miss the way the options expand from the first screen when you move to an option (my xbox, spotlight,etc) instead of the fade in-out that it is now. not sure if i'm making sense...

I was really hoping we weren't going to see that happen. The lag when the last one came around was noticeable, and I was hoping they wouldn't introduce more lag this time around. "

Same here, but let's hope enough people will complain and they'll make it better soon-ish.. Ok it's Microsoft so that probably won't happen but still, the idea of it happening is nice, right?  "

I like the new look! 
 
Anyone else getting the Xbox Beta section right on the front page (above "My Xbox") like I am? I was also able to download a beta application and receive a 0-point achievement for being in the beta...
 
To clarify: I was not in the Dashboard or the Kinect betas.

It hasn't changed, so of course I hate it. It's still the ugly, bloated, ad-filled piece of shit that wastes tons of screen-real-estate. And on top of it, all they've done is add more bullshit that I despise and gets in my way. (Ooh, wow, I can watch ESPN on my XBOX! Oh wait, I don't watch ESPN, because I couldn't give two shits what happens between one company full of rich tards and another company full of rich tards in another city does). And Facebook. And Twitter. And Games on Demand. And Zune. And Last.FM. And Netflix. And their countless fucking advertising. And their obnoxious full commercials. They have yet to add something that is actually useful and isn't just more "we're trying to get our hooks into everything, so we can spam more ads at the world".

I like it.

It seems faster, which is the most important thing to me.

Okay, update complete. My new avatar looks just like a more realistically-proportioned version of my old avatar. No big deal. 
 
New dashboard is just a more Metro version of the old one. Like many have said, I really wish I could get rid of most of those rows on the main menu. Ah, well. 
 
FINAL OPINION SO FAR: Meh.

I'm in the process of installing a new game on the harddrive, and the 360 is going AMOK! I'm scared that it might blow up at any moment now - It's spinning really, really loud. Can't use the mouse since the whole table where everything is placed on, is vibrating like crazy. This does not bode well. 65% over 20 minutes so far. Hopefully this is the discs fault, and not the new update. As far as the look? It still shows commercials when I boot it up, and that = Meh. Otherwise, pretty neat and tidy. 
 
EDIT: Xbox is fine, tried installing another game, same result. Either it's showing its age, or the update is screwy. It's almost a year old now.

" New dashboard is just a more Metro version of the old one. "

The new Guide menu feel a little sluggish, but I do like the look and feel of it. The system menus and avatar creation menus seem snappier, though. But I'm just a huge UI and menu nerd.

" It seems faster, which is the most important thing to me. "

Ive been using it for weeks now on the xbox in my bedroom and when i switch to the living room one it was horrible how loud the old sound effects and how bright the colours are.  Im personally happy with the more muted colours and softer sound effects of  the new dashboard, glad its finally gone live.

+1 for hate. It's like Youtube. Everytime they change something it's worse. Difference to YT: I have to wait a year for another update that might just fuck everything up again (like themes) They aren't as fucked as from the change to the NXE but still look worse. You now only see like 30% of the background,...

I haven't noticed any lag. In fact every thing seems much faster, especially when looking at my XBLA games. "

Don't like how they spaced "my xbox" and "friends" so far apart. Those are the once I use the most (by far), and I would guess it was the same for other people too. I might be to make people more aware of the marketplace things, and straight up make more people spend more money. 
Everything else I like so far.

I like it. I like the new loadup screen, the menus and guide seem to load quicker. I dont really care for the new updated avatars, but I also hated the old ones.

I don't mind the look (have had it since the preview builds), but I am a little disappointed that there weren't really any speed/responsiveness improvements.

Cool dashboard, bro. It loads a hell of a lot faster, and it looks a lot nicer.

I've been using it for a few weeks. I like it. Except the game library is still sloooooow. And that gray half of the dashboard background still ruins themes.

I hate the bright colors. It's really uncomfortable on the eyes when playing at night with little light.
 
Also, the background fog just plain sucks. It messes up custom background images even more than the stupid planet thing before.
 
It's beyond me why MS won't allow users to fully see their own background images and/or pick their own color schemes.

I don't have it O:

I've not had any problem with it.
Doesn't seem any slower to me or anything.

" well design is a lot better now but I have the felling that it handles and loads slower "

This is the Internet.  Of course they hate it.  They hate everything.

I quite like the new dashboard. So far, I seem to be able to navigate and load menus a bit faster than with the old NXE design. Everything looks slicker and sharper, too. -1 for hate.
 
My only complaint is the way the avatars and backgrounds on the My Friends tab move towards and away from the screen while scrolling. It's a bit strange on the eyes.
