I've been using the developer preview for a few months and can confirm that, at least for me, the disagreements start to fade pretty quickly. Not to say that their aren't still some problems, but that initial shock seems to be mostly that - just a shock.

As for the iCloud Beta, I actually like this design approach more in the browser. I think the larger screen actually helps the thin font choices and lines feel more appropriate.

Also agree, ios 7 is really nice when in use. Static images don't quite do the "feel" differences in how you interact.

That said, i also am in love with Helvetica Neue now. Was a bit so-so initially but it actually grows on you.

It literally grew on users when they dropped the "Ultralight" from Helvetica Neue Ultralight (3rd beta).

It's a widespread misconception, but it's never been ultralight. Screenshot from beta 1: http://cl.ly/PhA6

See the number in the calendar app? That's Ultralight.

Sure, but that's also not the system font.

True enough, I didn't install ios7 on my main phone until beta4/5 so any use prior was mostly on an old 4s just to see if things compiled/ran.
