I'm still currently using the old UI, here are some things that I have noticed.
#1 While comparing gerrit-review.googlesource.com and our gerrit install I have found that the googlesource version seems easier to look at. I think some of this is down to the greater contrast difference and the couple of extra seperating lines that they use. The main one that I would like to see on our install is line between the meta data on the left and the commit message centre screen.
#2 My workflow now requires an extra click. I don't use git-review and instead just use the links provided by gerrit to checkout patches. Again, this seems to be less of an issue on googlesource which has a "download" button on the main patch pages, ours however is hidden within the "more" menu. I would like to see the download button straight away and avoid this extra click.
#3 Upstream seems to have "sizeBars" element on each changed file indicating the additions and removals, I like this, and miss this from our current "old ui".
#4 When Jenkins reports on a patch the FAILURE or SUCCESS text has a text colour of either red or green in the old UI. googlesource also has some coloured representation of success of failure when reported by their CI, but our new poly gerrit doesn't seem to.
Thats it from me right now.

You might want to check out the CSS tweaks I developed for the old Gerrit UI. This stylesheet removes a lot of clutter, makes Gerrit usable on smaller laptop screens, and increases critical click regions. If the new Gerrit UI looks as clean as my tweaked version (or when similar tweaks can be applied to the new UI), I'm happy.
