#162Not at ALL. I’ve never seen a single site design repel me more quickly. I depend heavily on the simplicity and information-density of the old design (e.g. being able to pick from a dozen link titles that all fit on screen at once). I also depend on the pinch-to-zoom simplicity of focusing on exactly what I want, which only works well in the “normal” web pages of the old design. The new “design” breaks everything that…
My guess is they made it worse on purpose to push users to the app.

#163NO
It's a disaster. It is slower has worse UX than the old Reddit. Whoever thought making a SPA with React was a good idea was wrong. Reddit is a terrible use case for a SPA.
Design wise it's not terrible, but the chosen fonts have less readability than the previous fonts (I believe good old Verdana).
I will keep using old Reddit with RES for as long as I can.

#164I dislike it, but I reluctantly use it because its very numerous and significant drawbacks are maybe offset by the fact that it offers night mode. If there was a night mode setting in the old version, I'd use that in a heartbeat.
Did you know user scripts can give you a night mode?
I did wonder if an add-on or something could do this, but hadn't got to looking into it. Knowing there's an easy solution means I will now. Thank you!

#165I dislike the redesign very much. I've made a very simple open source extension to automatically redirect all reddit.com and www.reddit.com links to old.reddit.com. - https://github.com/aaomidi/reddit-fixer - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reddit-fixer/boahh... - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-redire...
Thanks fam. This is even lighter than what I was using previously.
