There's always the "WTF is this new stuff anyway?  I was comfortable and
cozy with the old one".  Understandable, but don't let the "new stuff"
factor blind you to any good things the new design has too :)

Important for whom?  Others will quickly jump up and start arguing that
"a couple of well placed, catchy images are worth a thousand words each".

Note that I don't necessarily disagree with what you are saying.  I'm
only stating the fact that these are *YOUR* opinions, which you have
*every* right to have but it should probably take a lot more than

			``This sucks, fix it''

to get anything done :)
