Eh not sure I agree. The former icons are definitely unique, but not consistent or cohesive at all, especially when viewed as a group.
I think these new icons will grow on people. There were similar negative reactions back ~15 years ago when Adobe switched to their minimalist icon style.

Adobe icons are terrible and should not be the standard. Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10, InDesign 2 were so much more memorable and recognizable than the lazy minimalist slop we have now. Even the first CS or CS2 icons were a thousand times better. The fact that the company behind the most powerful and popular creative software did this is unforgivable.
Some tasteless manager made a PowerPoint about "brand cohesion", got his promotion and ruined it for everybody else.
