The above being said, the new UI is still far from being fully ready.  For most orgs, the Lightning UI is not a complete enough solution to yet implement.  That is because many common functions, listed below, aren't yet supported:

• Forecasting
• Opportunity Splits
• Lead Merging/Duplication
• Cases (specifically Comments and Entitlements)
