This has been already discussed on twitter and elsewhere, but I really like the idea to format Bitcoin denominated prices with separator on thousands of sats. For example
Fee: 0.00'000'003 BTC (= 3 sats) Pay: 0.00'100 BTC (= 50 USD)
It makes it much easier to understand and parse quickly. For small amounts I think it's probably still better to use sats, but when the price is closer to Bitcoin, then this works well.
Definitely makes sense. I've seen some suggestions to format it with commas or dots, which I don't think is a good idea, since different countries have different meaning for that. This ticks makes a lot more sense, and indeed makes it a lot easier to spot the sat amount 👌

I think it visually works really well. I get it pretty much immediately.

I like that it has a nice symmetry to it: 20,999,999.97'690'000 BTC (USA+) 20 999 999,97'690'000 BTC (Europe+)
(and the beauty is that we know that the number won't be bigger than the one I put above :D)

I don't like it, it's terribly confusing

Which aspect do you find the most confusing? Is it the fact that after decimal point there are only two zeroes?
The test that I tried doing on myself is "without looking it up, can I buy a beer for 0.0001 BTC?" I already have some feel on sats that couple thousand sats is around a dollar, but the number above makes it quite hard to figure out how many sats is that.
If I use the format with padding, "0.00'010'000 BTC", then I'm able to guess that yea, that should be just about enough to get a beer at a bar. For smaller amounts like this it would be probably better to have just "10k sats", but then for amounts around $1000 I think this format can help.

Just don't strip away the decimals (even if they're all 0s) and then it's pretty straightforward: "A beer costs 0.00010000 Bitcoin"

Like it. Too many people don't know yet that 100M Sats = 1 BTC. This makes it easier.
