If you're more comfortable sticking with an interface you know, that's fine. But it doesn't mean it's better.

I spoke with my in-laws this weekend. They said that after a little while finding where things were, they found the new UI better, faster, etc. Being in their 60s/70s, I think they're a decent test case.
Or Classic Shell which also happens to have the advantage of being free (with the option to donate).
