If you don’t like using the Time Remap Tool to manipulate time, you can always use your Selection Tool to select the keyframes created and move them around. By going this route you will not be able to see the speed change amounts in any pop up window.
The other way you can remap time is by using the Motion Tab in the Viewer Window. By twirling down the Time Remap arrow, you can use the graph to change the time velocities much like other programs. [an error occurred while processing this directive]

You need to be aware that the numbers that appear in the graph when you drag keyframes around represent the actual frame, not a speed percentage amount. For example, if you have a 10 second clip, the graph will range from 0 to 300. You can see the speed change by looking in the Velocity % window to the left of the graph.
What makes using the Motion Tab my favorite way to manipulate time is that if you right click (Control+Click for those of you without a two button mouse), you can change the linear keyframes to smooth bezier curves. This allows you to really fine tune your graph for best results.
