  Well, why do you think that old design suited people's needs better
  than the new one? Did you sit ~10 of your friends with various life
  and professional backgrounds in front of desktop and did you give them
  few tasks (find man page about blabla, find certain mailinglist, etc.)
  just to see how they behave while browsing *both* sites, old one and
  new one, and did you make observations how long did these tasks take
  them, how did they achieve the results, what were their feelings etc?

  I don't think so. 

  What I think is that you are pretty much used to old design.. and we
  all know that old habits die hard :).. Why I say this? Because I see
  feedbacks like yours all the time some site is being redesigned and
  people are too much shocked by sudden change than to be able to find
  something positive about it.

	have a nice evening,
