Whoa
I really don't want to click through to read the whole summary, that's what the summary is for - to help me decide if I want to click through or not. We need to see the whole summary on the main page.

Why is the font bigger and the spacing almost double what is was? It just wastes space and makes reading more difficult. Imagine of book/newspaper printers started doing that! Yuck. At least give us a "compact" option like GMail did.

Why are the comments squished in between the large white space boxes on the left side of the browser? Yes, I have a wide screen, but no, I do not run my browser maximized. There are LARGE bits of white space separating the comment trees - why? In fact, why use boxes at all to create the tree? Just make a tree on the left and keep white space to a minimum.
Also, when scrolling down far enough, the right-hand content dries up and there's nothing but a large EXPANSE of empty white space. It's like the Sahara desert. It's not fun.

Why throw away the UID of the user? UID indicates (sort-of) age of the user. The UID is an important part of Slashdot history. Where'd the journal / homepage links go?

In an ever-increasing march to loosing vertical resolution to horizontal resolution, why on EARTH would you further reduce vertical space by pinning a menu to the top of the page? Please, leave our precious vertical space alone.

Where did the lovely titles go? It's just plain old text now - I'd really prefer the white-text-on-green titles. It's Many times easier on the eye.

Where did the hidden comments go? How are we supposed to (on a whim) decide to read a below-threshold comment instead of lowering the global threshold?

Why is the comment box so darn narrow now? I can hardly fit in 12 words next to each other!
I'm praying that you keep the classic version around, that I way I will stay around in the community too!
