My only issue is not easily being able to scroll to the bottom without overshooting to flip pages. I hate not being able to flip pages from the top, but not being able to quick scroll to the bottom too is really counter intuitive.

I'm okay with it, except for the sliders. I can't seem to differentiate 90%-100%
Wasn't a fan at the beginning, now I think it's great.
I hate it. Any wallpaper with a grain of red or yellow and everything becomes brown/beige and awful. I'm on Oneplus so i can't pick any colors, it's all automatic.
I was offput by it so much on my last phone that I rooted it (first time rooting any Android) just to override it as much as I possibly could. For me, it wasn't because of the flatness, but entirely because of the huge padding.
The volume slider, which was a thin stripe before, now looks like a comically large bar for no reason at all. Small circular icons on the notification shade which could fit 4 in one row, now only fit 2 in a row. Pulling down the notification shade still let you see the screen behind it, but now it grays it out entirely.
As for the custom color selection, the main gimmick of Material You, it is entirely hit or miss. On my own phone, Pixel 3, I used a red/maroon color, and on my new phone, Pixel 5, I use a mint green.
There's situations where my chosen color looks really good, and others where it looks horrendous. As it turns out, having one universal color choice for things ranging from the notification shade icons, time display on the lock screen, calculator, etc. makes it difficult to find one color that looks good for all of them.
TL;DR: I hated it when it came out. I have gotten used to it now, but still dislike it immensely.
Impersonally like iOS designs. I like when things like Apollo follow the stock feel. It normally comes out nice.
No.
I hate that desaturate bluish background that is everywhere now. A lot of the apps look the same, and the removal of colours from notification icons just makes everything feel flat, soulless, and unsuitable for quick glances.
I think it's nice as long as you have a custom ROM with root to tweak it. It's UNUSABLE on its default state.
But I still miss Holo and its mystique so much, it was perfect on small screens and needed some tweaking to be a mature, elegant, unique and expressive UI design language.
What changes do custom roms let you make?
Pretty much anything you can think about (even bringing back old QS or power menu). And if this isn't enough rooting enables you to make even bigger changes with apps such as Iconify or Substratum

I love it
I love the original material design introduced in lollipop and gets polished in subsequent versions. Material you feels... idk, unfinished? I don't really mind the "bigness" of it, sure it could've been smaller, but what I really dislike about it is the color system that seems half-baked, for example I use a grey wallpaper and MY gives me light blue instead.
Well why don't you get some rest if you're so tired?
