To me, it looks just "different" rather than particularly better (except on mobile browsers, where I find the redesigned one a bit worse by having the links hidden away down the bottom. Scrolling to read the text on mobile browsers with the existing version is a bit of a nuisance, but so is scrolling to access the links in this rework).
And "different" is a bit of a problem, there are at least 7 associated websites which intentionally have the same basic design, which now no longer match up. (I found v1 a lot worse than the existing one, mostly due to overriding browser default font/colour choices and disabling underlining for links). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
