Just got off a trip with a Captain who hadn't used the new flows/checklists either and there were definitely growing pains. I would say that whoever's leg it is does the Origination and loads the box while the other pilot goes out and does the exterior, but if you're flying with a Captain who sees "normally done by the first officer" and then the exterior inspection says, "normally accomplished by the first officer" then you've got one dude/dudet doing pretty much everything (the FO).

The new checklists, with the Captain or PF responding first to the challenger was a bit awkward, but by the end of a 4-day it got smoother. I'm still not sure I like it. The Captain is put on the spot with some of the responses, which just requires getting used to having that info out or written down for quick reference. In the past, it was normally just the FO needing to have that stuff readily available.
