Everyone hates it and you like it, shows that you are a noob.
There is a playerbase of something like 20,000,000.
We only see and hear from possibly maximum 50,0000 across all servers? Probably much much less (I am assuming that some people also say- everyone in my alliance says blah).
That's 0.25% of the playerbase. Ok, fine, let's say 100,000 across all servers. That's 0.5% of the players.
As Pushty says, there is always a loud minority.
Remember how angry people were about 2.0? Give the interface a chance. Get used to it. Give them a chance to listen to your feedback and respond (or not). But really, if you don't like it, the door is unlocked and wide open.
Edit-
The the guy who -repped me for 'false information':
I am getting the numbers from an innogames post a while ago. They were celebrating 20,000,000 grepolis players accross all servers.
