I find it much more comfortable to use Google now that the results are nearer the middle of the page. I feel my eyes moving slightly to the left, but I recon that this is just an artifact of using the old Google for many years. Only time will tell, but I recon that this will quickly become a non-issue as I get used to the new design.

I still find the new design to be dissapointing, but i'm glad that the results are now pushed closer to the middle of the page; it's where the content is on most websites.
