I may be wrong, but I think that this site's UI is far from simple. It looks clean, but that's different thing.

The new interface feels very unconventional, in fact. It may become convenient once you've learned what everything means, but until then you'd feel puzzled.

~~ Of course, I could not try to work with the old site, but the old screenshots looked more informative than the new ones. Not surprised at all by the results.

It's hard to imagine something simpler. HN even maintains a good information density.

I were talking not about HN, obviously.
