I actually appreciate how they approached their aggregation. It's pleasant to the eyes, is readable, and adds some visual interest to the feed. Little excerpts and thumbnails better help me decide whether or not I want to click on a link.

I don't think information density (in actual space) is as valuable to me as it is to you, though.

Agreed! I like the UI. The snippets aroused my interest in the actual content linked a lot more than a bland (and often misleading) title.

These days I often scroll past pages of hacker news without clicking on anything. I used to check out the comments often. But now no longer. The snippets seem revitalize the site for me a bit.
