My main problem with the new UI is how it looks.

If it could be made to look very similar to the old UI ( I tried ) I could learn to tolerate the rest.

It's also slow, there's a non stop distracting sparkle at the top to buy bullshit, and it's bombarding you with irrelevant notifications

I almost get a stroke whenever I visit new reddit to tinker with scheduled posts or what not. :(

From a user perspective I do agree with you there. Besides some odd UI choices (like how collapsing comments work), I would be more inclined to use new reddit if I wasn't bombarded by visual clutter. Specifically the icons everywhere and the fact that secondary UI elements get oddly large font sizes distracting from primary information.

It even isn't that much work, playing around for 5 minutes with some CSS already turns this cluttered mess[1] into something that is much less busy to the eyes[2]
