Well, as you might tell from my post, I strongly disagree that they're terrible. Pitch may be the same, though it *looked* like more pitch than the row behind, and was certainly more than "normal" legroom these days (but it seems like this aircraft has 32" throughout, this row was either 32 or 33.
23E gets the added bonus of having 23F's tray under their right arm.
Yes, this is true. The guy in the middle had to move his arm every time F took out or put back the tray. I probably would avoid this seat. But the aisle seats C/D both have regular armrests on both sides (and the aisle armrest raises). I wouldn't hesitate to sit in 23A/C/D/F again.
Row 22 (22D and 22E) are VERY narrow as compared to a regular seat. I'll grab 22E if 23F (and 10A/B/C) is taken, but I always end up too cozy with the stranger in 22D as the cost of infinite legroom.
I can't imagine the seats are any closer together. It certainly didn't appear this way from behind. The tray table in the arm rest makes the seat bottom narrower, and can squeeze your hips/thighs, but your shoulders won't be any closer.
