If you ask me, the gravel should stay noisy. What that looks like in the picture would be medium sized rocks, not gravel
With a 16X16 texture there sometimes has to be a compromise between scale and more distinct features. I personally like to fudge scale to get something that looks more intuitively like what its supposed to be. I still remember in X's video's when he wanted to find gravel so badly for flint and he had been walking by a whole pocket of it right outside his shelter the whole time. The current texture just does not look distinct enough for someone new to recognize it for what it is.
I swear it just looks different because the picture is blurry.

You and your ninja need to go get your eyes checked. No way in hell that's just a blurry shot of the current default gravel texture or any other current default texture.

I prefer the current gravel texture, but if Jeb has indeed changed it, then oh well. At this point, it would seem that he will eventually change most of the game's textures anyway.
My only question is why Mojang doesn't change its advertising accordingly. I realize that there couldn't possibly a new "This is Minecraft" video for every little change but I have seen Mojang-sponsored (though not in a monetary sense, I know that Mojang spends little to no money on actual advertising) images and videos that seem to depict older versions of Minecraft. Why is that? Perhaps the older versions of Minecraft are more iconic and resonate more within players?
I'm not saying it's a bad texture, I just think it looks like something constructed. That's why it looks good as pavement and with cobblestone.
It doesn't look like something naturally found within the earth.
If anything, I still say my having it as a new block "Cement" would be a lot better, and having gravel either the old texture or something else that looks more natural.
Pics provided by me, less blurry. Your welcome minecrafters.

Not really a 'Your welcome' as they could check the MC wiki, or the other threads made on the forum. Not very hard...
In other words I've updated the OP, with the whole block texture, not a screenshot.
Texture looks like crap. I would like them to have another unanimous vote like they did for the round sun and moon. If this crappy excuse for a gravel texture is kept, I'm just gonna keep the current one in a texture pack.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
I love the new texture.

Maybe…. IT'S NOT EVEN GRAVEL!
But TBH, I actually like gravel now
