I really like the os. I like its look too. However I hate it when the old keyboard comes up :( looks so jarring lol
 
That's due to developers not updating their apps soon enough. Blame them and not the OS.

I'm not an iOS developer myself but... in other environments, like Windows, for example, when you invoke common user interface controls in your applications, such controls are provided by the operating system at runtime. It seems a little odd to me that an app running on iOS7 would not be presented with the inbuilt keyboard automatically.

The keyboard gets compiled into each app on iOS. A dev might be able to explain what the advantages/disadvantages of doing it this way are.

Definitely makes sense to me, but not to apple I guess.
