I'm a fan of the design, but lack of comments is a deal breaker for me. I currently use this site for hn mobile: http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/
I use MiniHack, which is mind-blowingly good now that the update came through. Full comment posting on mobile and tablet, upvoting, flagging, everything. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minihack-for-hacker-news-yc/...
Not bad, needs some work, but not bad! My favourite app is MiniHack. Lets you post comments on mobile, and has a really nice interface now that he's updated the UI. Well worth the money. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minihack-for-hacker-news-yc/...
I've tried many hn mobile redesigns and have settled with http://hn.premii.com and use it every single day!
In fact, I liked it so much that I wrote a little bookmarklet that changes hckrnews.com comment and article links to point to hn.premii.com.

I've seen a lot of "redesigns" of HN, but that is by far my favorite of them all.
I've been using the "Hacker News Enhancement Suite" [1], which isn't much of a suite as it is a more Reddit-like version of HN. Namely, it has collapsible comments, inline replying, and a generally nicer but not over-designed layout. [1]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...
Since Y Combinator has been redesigned, I hope they redesign HN and make it responsive and modern.
Verdana is a bit dated (it still looks good, but it's very reminiscent of early 2000s web design, as it was one of the few fonts that looked good without antialiasing on a 640x480 or 800x600 display), but I'd like to ask this of whoever gets tasked with refreshing HN's typography in the future: stick with a humanist sans serif. Don't go with Helvetica or another geometric sans serif.
