>>It's a far cry from the awesome, snappy and easy to use Vita bubbles interface.

Oh god, I didn't even think anyone could ever say such a sentence. After years with XMB on PS3 and PSP, the Vita's interface felt like a bit of a joke imho - I remember opening my Vita on launch day and literally thinking this is just wrong, I even googled if there's any way to change it to XMB interface.

It was easy to use, sure, but it was just....too much. And once you had several games it just became a complete mess. The menus themselves were ok though.
