Row 1 legroom doesn't look bad, and as always there's the advantage of not having anyone recline into your lap, but foot cutouts à la A319/A320 would be great. Do galley carts stored on the other side of the wall preclude such cutouts? I don't see why else Delta/Boeing would omit them.

Outside of row 1, it appears the seats, like those in the refurbished MD88s and MD90s, have dedicated, high-mounted pockets for magazines and the safety information card. Unfortunately, cleaning crews almost never bother to use them and instead toss everything into the larger, lower pocket.

I would prefer the tray tables be stored in the outside armrests. Opening and stowing center-mounted tray tables can be awkward when there are drinks on the small, fixed tray at the front of the armrests. I also miss the useful, pull-out extension found on the pre-refurbishment MD88s, among other aircraft.

Lastly, since the AVOD screens for seats 10A/B/C are not mounted on the row 5 seat backs, the soft bulkhead could be extended lower to the level of the armrests. The opening between the seats, the bottom edge of the partition, and the armrests looks odd to me.
