The new version is all ajaxy with everything in one tab: I want to be able to open multiple views for multiple websites in multiple tabs. Now I have to re-open GA for each different thing I want to look at and then navigate to it, because I can't open these in a new tab.
I can't believe Google Analytics hasn't pursued any kind of real-time analytics by now. It's a real detriment to have a 2~6 hour lag for any kind of recent data.
Even if it was something ad-hoc like a Lab that did basic real-time analytics, would be so neat/useful.
I hate that it now takes two clicks to get to Content->Overview when it use to take one. I mostly look at the overview pages to see where people are coming from and what pages they are looking at and it seems like a lot more clicking and scrolling is involved to see what I want to see.

The New Version of Google Analytics Share Comment Print
Our new version of Analytics provides three significant enhancements:
A redesigned Google Analytics platform to enable major new functionality
A streamlined interface to make it easier to get to the information you want
Improved report performance for faster reports
Currently, we are showcasing the following features in the new version of Analytics:
A completely redesigned, faster interface (read more).
Multiple dashboards—build a custom dashboard for each department (read more).
Event Goals! Track your PDF downloads as goals with events, or configure 2 minutes play time on a video as a goal. Read Kayden's great blog post on this feature.
More powerful custom reports—you can pre-filter reports and build additional data views (read more).
Too early to tell if I'm going to like it. Going to take a LOT of getting used to. I already miss the view where I see each individual website and the hits, uniques and visitors.
- website-a.com 50 visits, 2 minutes on site
- website-b.com 25 visits, 4 minutes on site
- etc...
I really miss being able to add a report to the dashboard by simply clicking on "Add to Dashboard"! Now I have to actually know what I'm doing in order to add it to the dashboard. Which also made me realise how much I suck at understanding all those parameters... (It also shows how easy Analytics was for everyone, right?)
Actually I think they might be including in page info try the pivot view. I am not sure if that is what you mean. The data actually seems better than I could get in the old view. But jeez getting to it a pain. I really can't imagine how the GA interface is so annoying to use (bot the old one and the new one). I would think they have really good people - maybe they just don't give them any reasonable amount of time. It seems to take way too many clicks to get info. And that it is way too confusing.
At least the new view finally deleted an extra site that someone shared with me then deleted themselves and yet it stayed on my GA account and I was never able to delete it for over 2 years.

The geckoboard esque dashboard is cool though.
