Yes! I recently used it for a road trip and was horrified at how much clutter and crap they put on the screen - it's like gamified navigation.
A great example - I really really don't need to know how many waze users are behind me, or driving the opposite direction, or hell - even in front of me. I also don't need 3-4 indicators on the screen showing the speed of traffic going the other way on the freeway. I only care about where I'm going and how quickly I can get there.
It literally is gamified navigation, you get point rewards for driving over "candy" on your route, although so many people use waze nowadays i only wind up with a piece of candy every few months.
FWIW the display of other Wazers is useful if you want to know the likelihood of any speed traps being correctly identified (a lot of other Wazers ahead of you in either direction should suffice).
