Better usability is always a good thing. As my Danish forebears say ‘Form Follows Function’, but the jury’s out on this. Personally I like simple layouts.

    this is great news. can’t wait for the new look. i’m all for dumbed down. i think geeks often forget they don’t code for geeks, but for other people, and the same can be said for designers.
