If it is "very easy" then go ahead and do a comparison.

No it is not bad in my opinion, it is still buggy and missing some
features and configuration tools but that will be sorted out in the
fullness of time.  There is little point in comparing an obsolete
interface with Unity however, what matters is to identify the bugs and
fill in the functional gaps so it can do everything that is required.
