It's no big deal but it is a horror show when you first use it. "Who thought this was a better idea?!?!?!" Think about that...that, and the crew rest seat, is the worst thing in the airplane? It's quieter (huge gain and the 777 isn't loud), smoother, and you notice the humidifier. All 3 combined make it more comfortable.

Showed up for a trip and the COMM (?) page had a new option to select. Hadn't been there the trip before. No pink pages. I think it was the APU Hobbs meter selection? FO landing credit? Instead of having to go 2 selections deeper they decided to put it right on the primary screen. Simple. Made sense but that wouldn't have happened with a hard key FMC.
