* The current version has very clear boundaries between stories in the form of the green bar. (Same for (expanded) comments.) With the new design it is simply harder to find these boundaries.
* Why all the wasted space in this new design? If I want a narrow column I'll just resize my web browser. The old layout was good because it allowed me to quickly scan through a lot of stories to select the ones that interested me. Same with comments. With the new design I need to scroll quite a bit more before having seen all the content.
* Speaking of comments, what is going on with the comment system? I hope the limited comment functionality (for example, lack of folding, etc) is just due to the fact that this is a beta.
