It is harder to navigate.
It is not as easy to maintain links. Previously I could copy and paste into a post an address from the address bar and just edit the forum number, thread number, or post number. This no longer works.
Sometimes when editing a post I am thrown back to the first page of the thread instead of remaining on the page I was on.

The net effect is it is harder to work on the stuff I work on. Together with search problems that still aren't fixed after so many months, I sometimes wonder why I bother trying to be helpful.
The old URL method will still work. It just redirects automatically to the new URL format.

For example, this thread ...

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=898266

Will still work and auto redirect to this page.

Actually, as long as you have the ID in there, anything will work.
