I found a way to learn to like it by using BetterTouchTool, which makes it more like a static customizable screen instead of the modal aware screen they marketed it as.
It gives me (always in the same place), currently playing song in Spotify with << || >> controls, weather tappable to see forecast for current location, a scrollable emoji keyboard, battery display, and standard brightness volume controls. Ctrl and Alt give me other modal contexts. All of those are nice for interacting with my host OS even if I'm, for example, working inside a VM at the moment.
Edit: it also prompted me to map escape to capslock, and now I wish that were default everywhere.
Edit2: having a scrollable emoji keyboard handy is honestly awesome, since I do most of my SMS messages through my computer.
