I'm surprised it took so long, but wow, what a terrible UI!

The metaphor seems to be radio buttons; I would expect a depressed button to have text lower down than a non-pressed button, but that's not the case here.

* Poor, low contrast on text across the site
* The nav links at the top have a different baseline than the search box and StackExchange logo.
* The active item in the active | featured | hot | week | month link row doesn't appear to be on the same baseline as the inactive items.
