It may be a tiny bit more complicated, however, after you administer it for a short while you will find it is
very close to 7-mode.

I now prefer it to 7-mode due to many enhancements (too many to list mind you).

7-mode will be around, just do not expect any new features in 7-mode.
The effort is going into Clustered Data Ontap ( aka cDOT)

With 8.2 and the release of a single-node "cluster", for new installations, there is really no reason
to use 7-mode.

Existing installations should eventually migrate, but the effort will be worth the while.

Netapp is pushing hard to start using Cluster Data ONTAP. From what I see, from admin/operator level is not as elegant and friendly as "Classic". I just cannot see going to it, it goes against almost everything I like about administrating netapp. Do people feel the same way out there is the field? Netapp is telling us that 7-mode will go away. Is that for real? Do you "like" Cluster OS?
