It's fast, new UI looks much better, and gesture controls are good. However, I cannot believe that they messed up the actual images in this version! The videos have some kind of a terrible pixel jumble. I feel like the videos don't play exactly at 1080p, but more like 1078p or something so that the app is shrinking the image a little misaligning all the pixels.
Here's a comparison:

I can easily say that YouTube looked as sharp as the desktop image in the old version. This is a problem with the new version, not the fact that I'm accessing it from a mobile device.
I used the intro text on this video to make the comparison (expletive language on the video) :
