Looks like Microsoft is paying attention to the comments about the interface now that everything is out in the wild.

Xbox, why? The baffling incompetence of the Xbox One interface

Microsoft is listening to Xbox One user feedback and passing on suggestions to improve the console's UI to the appropriate Xbox teams, Xbox Live's director of programming Larry Hryb has said.
Xboxfeedback.com, an entire website dedicated to discussing changes that users would like to see implemented, has also been set up, to which Hryb says he has passed on to the relevant team at Microsoft.
Not sure I believe the crazy timeframe but it's on their radar at least.

Microsoft over the coming months will be replacing the entire party/notification/XBL-related UI parts wholesale. They won’t be fixing them like they previously had been telling developers. This is definitely a smart move and the right decision for the console longterm but it will have some fairly significant short-term implications. They likely won’t be finished until well into spring or possibly early summer (update: one of the sources of this story just told me “It may take up to a year” HOLY CRAP). With Titanfall and Destiny around the corner – two games that are built around online play and will require solid party infrastructure for working as a team… the news that the party system won’t be replaced by then is a kick to the gut.
