Is the new facebook complicated ?

"I have always adored twitter for it's simplicity and was happy with older interface of facebook just because I had gotten along good with it but this new interface is way too complicated for me", says one of my friends. Well it's true, facebook's new interface is indeed complicated for normal users and here's a list that justifies my friend's statement.

• The ticker on right produces too much noise by showing a lot of unwanted and irrevelant updates from friends.
• Earlier one could just friend someone, now he has to decide weather to friend or follow them.
• The concept of facebook timeline AKA 'your digital scrapbook' is complicated in itself.
• Confusion on what parts of profile would be publicized by facebook.
• The like button is not just a like button now, but a read,watch or [any verb] button. This would obviously complicate things for most users.

What are your views on this ? Do you find the new interface complex ? If yes, what features confuse you ?
