The crafting system present in the console editions of Minecraft is (arguably) much easier for beginners than PC crafting. However some players have asked for PC crafting to be implemented in consoles, if nothing else because they are used to PC crafting.
4J Studios appears to be delivering, as indicated by the picture they tweeted above. The picture shows not only a PC crafting system but also the UI for horses, beacons, and hoppers.
What is unclear is if the PC crafting system is optional or not. Although many had been hoping for an implementation of the PC crafting system on consoles, I think we can all agree the console crafting UI is much friendlier to beginners (wheras PC crafting requires memorizing of recipies). It's hard to imagine 4J Studios wouldn't make it optional.
