I hear lots of noise, but nothing constructive.

What about it do you think is unsightly?
> "I have nearly 9000 songs in my library, so this new layout really doesn't work for me"
How does having X songs affect the layout "working" for you? I have 30,000 songs and the layout functions correctly for me.
> "and the small, simple features that differentiated Amarok 1.x from every other media player are gone"
Again, which features are those?
Us Amarok devs do not live in a black box totally cut off from our user base. The only way we can improve the feature set and the UI is when we know exactly what our users do not like about it. A simple "The new UI is unsightly" tells us we need to make it better, but not what needs to be addressed. We can take (and even welcome) extremely harsh criticism, but we cannot act unless we have substantial issues to address. Otherwise we shoot in the dark, which doesn't seem to work.
