It says a lot about the redesign that reddit keeps supporting old.reddit.com for years afterwards.

They probably didn't want to repeat the Digg failure (new design led a lot of power users to abandon the platform and move to Reddit).

I'm sure they'll force it on everyone once the new design is tweaked and/or becomes more popular (I see new users don't care or don't know about the old design).
