No, I completely agree with you! Usabilty here, usability there, but I positively hate those folder icons - I've said it before and I'll say it again!
I appreciate the guys work and that there is a more coherent HIG and everything, but personally I don't like those folder icons.

You guys are just confusing the image with a folder. They really intended it to look like just a blue rectangle. Leave the guys alone. Your blue rectangles are perfect guys!

There is something anal about a rectangle.
I think this folder analogy is to old and needs to be replaced.
Lets see, I have some pictures, music, videos and such. Do I stuff
them in a folder? Nah, if it's porn I hide it in box under the bed.
Yeah, thats it, a cardboard box is a better symbol. A brown cardboard
box from IKEA.

Maybe you're right when you compare the two icons, but I think when you look at the whole picture the new ones are better.

I totally agree, but it seems the previous version is bigger and more complicated for pcs to render. This means that an old computer would be slower since the icon is shown almost everywhere.
@ Nuno: am I right or is there another explanation?

The icons are rendered to raster images for the most commonly used sizes ( 16, 22, 32, 64, 128 and in some cases 256 pixels on each side ) and stored in PNG format on disk, so there shouldn't be any difference in the rendering cost. File size will vary slightly depending on the image data.
Complex vector graphics do take longer to render than simple ones, but rendering from the vector 'source' only needs to be done if the icon is required in a non-standard size.

i love it that you oxygen guys make all folders look like folders by default (death to the 'house' on /home/$USERNAME)..
(ohh, and i kind of agree that the current folder icon it not easily distinguished as such)

Will there be a way of coloring the icons according to the color theme?
I don't think so since icons'd only habe to be recolored in part (i.e. shadows keep their color). This means there would either need to be specific areas that are recolored, declared inside of the svg files or software that detects colors and their tones and recolors them (which also means that a blue would be recolored even though you might not want it).
Is this a plan or should I write it on the wishlist for KDE 5?

Have you tried KControl -> Appearance & Themes -> Icons -> Advanced -> Set Effect button -> Colorize?

I use the Oxygen Icons in KDE 3, they look great, the folder icon is wonderful, the old one looks crappy when you get back to it (I use to think like you).
Just a KDE 4 dolphin screenshot:
