I much prefer the buttons on the One compared to the 880/890/885/895 and the touch screen actually works far better and easier than I thought. It's also more intuitive (when you go into Device mode it gives you a touch button to return to the current activity rather than expecting you to know to press the Device button twice).

You can easily install an IR repeater to control equipment remotely with the advantage that it works with ANY IR remote including all of the OEM remotes.
