During the whole history of internet, there has not been a single change that didn't have at least one person saying "this sucks!". It's impossible to please everyone, especially on the internet, so it's only natural that this new pillar art would suffer the same fate. Luckily from what I've seen, huge majority likes the new art so overall I would say that art change was a big success.
