I personally LOVE the NXE. Not only can you visibly see your online friends, you can see the avatars of the people that they are chatting with. With the quick push of a button, you can join their party and chat with them.
Netflix is ok, I really wish their was a bigger library. But it's free with my regular subscription so I'm not complaining.
The avatars are pretty cool. I think they're nicely detailed. I actually made one that fit my style almost perfectly.
Installing games is great, no jet engine sound while I'm deep into a game.
The one pet peeve I had with the old dashboard was when you were in a private chat and someone sent you a voice message, you had to leave the chat, listen to the message, then go back into the menu and rejoin the chat. This no longer happens with the new dashboard. Another old pet peeve was that when you hit the guide button when a friend was signing on, you'd go into their profile. Very annoying.
I dont get why people are complaining about this update. It's a more streamlined experience with additional options. If you don't like it, don't use it.

My only complaint is that the last line is an impossible scenario. This is a mandatory update. If you know of some way to not use it please tell me. I would love the new features without the new interface. Hell I would settle for the old features and old interface. As it stands you either cut out all Xbox Live features, or you lose the interface. Not using it simply is not an option.

I guess what I meant to say was don't use xbox live if you really don't like it that much. It's a luxury item, not a necessity. You still have the system blades, just modified a bit.
