So people have already complained about the whole reputation thing being 1 value displayed rather than 3 values and a percentage. Your opinion is your opinion.
While some people will say it's now harder to read rep (really guys? It's one click), it's still pretty simple and honestly requires you to use your head just a tiny bit more.
I'm just going to note some things. If you already know these, skip this thread. This is just for the people who don't know these things.
1. In my opinion, one value is not representative of a person's rep on its own; give their full feedback a quick read.
When dealing with someone, regardless of how reputation is represented, you should really check in on peoples' reputation. People who complain now that you have to probably weren't reading reputation beforehand (on a semi-detailed level). It should kind of just happen. And yes, reputation values go into negatives. Don't worry about that.

2. If you're really that bothered by the change, click on a user's name to view their profile card. The percentage is still there.
If you're honestly feeling that lazy, the value along with the percentage should give you enough information to make a judgment. But again, I never recommend just looking at numbers. Look at what people have to say. That's what reputation is about.

3. When clicking on the reputation page for a user, there is still a stats section on the side.
Again, numbers (blah blah blah). This is a more detailed summary. It's also the equivalent to

4. You don't actually have to read word-by-word, just skim.
Skimming isn't that hard. You can do it, I believe in you!
5. And again - always read the reputation.
It's all well and good to complain reputation aren't vouches. Reputation is much more social, much more verbal and long-term (at least in the way I see it). Let's humour it for a minute. If people stopped to read it then maybe it could work out a little better. But this point - a reiterative one, granted - is important if you want to deal with a person. Make your own judgments. Yes, reputation affects your business but most people should have the integrity to check whether reputation is relevant, informative or accurate. So don't stress. Just put in a little more effort and it'll pay off.
6. (Edit, thanks Cold for prompting me to explore a little) - you can filter reputation view types.

Edit: This is not primarily an opinion thread. You may treat it as such but if you don't want to use your head, that's your own issue.
