Sorry, but I want relaxing and inviting when I travel. The new version looks like restaurants that are deliberately designed to encourage people to eat quickly and leave fast so that the place can profitably turn over tables faster. It's not good when people are already stressed from travel issues; the colors, decor, and ambience just seem to heighten the tension. This is very different from the generally calming and relaxing classic luxury of Asian carriers' lounges.
