Rather than tell me how those fancy new features are supposed to work, I'd prefer to have an app that actually does work. Surely, that has occurred to the designers, so it'd be nice to know if / when this is going to be possible to use again. I don't remember anyone complaining about wanting to be able to select fewer notes, have fewer (no?) options in the toolbar, etc., so I don't know why time was spent removing features. I do hope that the design team's priorities will shift from the new features (that new link I mentioned, for example) to the "old" stuff that I actually need to get stuff done. That's really a deal-breaker, I'm afraid. I need to be able to select more than 50 notes. I am afraid that if this is the shape of things to come, though, it is difficult to see a way forward with my workflow. I'll probably just re-install the legacy version for a while. I'm a premium user, and despite the bugs (for example, a long-standing iOS problem losing focus on the last note opened if you navigate by note links somewhere and then close the app), and the lack of interest in the improvements I've suggested (for example, encrypted notebooks), I've been satisfied.
It's the app we have, though, not necessarily the app we want. In my opinion, if we are talking about existing features, it seems fair to expect a roadmap for them to be implemented, or some warning that they are now obsolete. What is the team planning to leave abandoned? What is the team planning to add back into the app? It'd be nice to know. I suppose it is a useful way to generate and test new features (something I have also said is not high on my list of priorities).
It seems obvious, but I think it bears repeating. Again, we seem to be circling back to the philosophy of throwing something out there and working on it as we go along. The thing is, for at least a decade now, I've been asking Evernote (especially with major releases) to be very careful about suddenly (without notice) removing features, and to release something with as few bugs as possible. It may be a wonderful experience for these users. And, it is slow (at least, at the moment). My guess is that they had in mind someone with fewer notes, less data, and no need to select more than a handful of notes at a time (to create note links, export, etc.). I doubt this is the experience they wanted me to have.
Given these limitations, even if I could see my notes, I guess it wouldn't do me much good. I think it is fair to say without exaggeration that I went from 100% to 0% productivity after installing the app. For a brief time, while I could view the content of just one note and see a list of the others in the middle pane, the shortcuts were empty, and I could only select fifty notes at time. Literally. It is basically a blank screen where my notes should be. I say half-baked because, as of this moment, I cannot view my notes at all (must be some indexing going on in the background-I have several thousand and lots of gigabytes). if Evernote was listening to the feedback (at least, my feedback), they wouldn't have gone in this direction, or made a public release of a half-baked app. The feedback button at the bottom is also convenient, though. I imagine this will be helpful in the days to come. For example, there is a new feature link in the sidebar (sorry, working with Japanese version, so not sure what the precise English wording is) that brings up helpful mini videos showing how things work.

I think the design team for the Mac has made a beautiful app with some interesting features that I am seeing for the first time.
