The Remote app is designed really good, but skeuomorphic lovers will bash anything on iOS 7.
Or, you know, there are bad parts to each of those designs.I believe they're not skeuomorphic lovers, but rather change haters..
If it would be the other way round (the new design would be the one for iOS1 to 6 and the old one would be the one for iOS7+) they would cry how stupid these 3D effects look, and how all the leather makes them sick..
