I don't see what people are complaining about, outside the childish "I don't like change" factor.
I like the new layout, It's clearer, cleaner and more easy to navigate in my opinion.. Everyone here is pissing moaning but very few critics are actually giving any meaningful feedback. Having the toolbar at the top means you have to open as many tabs/go through as many pages to find what you want.
With the old one I always felt like I was having to click my way through multiple links in order to find anything, especially if I'm looking looking specifically for something in "Most Endorsed" or "Recent". The favourite list in the toolbar is a nice touch to. Some people can't stomach change I guess.
