It is pretty nice but navigation between photos still feels a little clunky. I'd have expected the 'next' and 'previous' arrows to slide/load in the pre-loaded image rather than generating a full page refresh.
Still very nice all in all though and a terabyte of free space makes it an easy choice for the default place to store all your photos. Goodbye iCloud for me.
FWIW, yesterday I saw a "fail whale" page on Flickr for the first time ever (though it was of a baby panda). I don't know if that's a consequence of infrastructure changes or increased traffic...I don't think it's the latter but perhaps the increase number of fetches on each normal page load is causing a burden.
Also, the simple prev/nav between single photos has always been unacceptably slow...hopefully that gets fixed, as that's also kind of key to the viewing experience
