> The whole new design is anti-user, the site is just masses of white space, super slow, JS heavy and pretty much unusable outside a third party mobile client. The day old.reddit.com gets shut down will be a sad day.

On desktop the new design is much easier to use, it took me awhile to realize, but being able to hit esc and be right back where you were in the story feed is super nice.

Also to collapse threads from anywhere; that's very nice to scan through comment threads rapidly. But still it's way too heavy for what it does.

What are you even talking about. All modern browsers will bring you back to the spot you were in when you go back to the previous page, and have for years.

Which works questionable well in an infinite scrolling situation.

Previously you'd get a token in the URL that was some type of state that hopefully let you resume, but it didn't work if you spent too long reading comments and then pressed the back button.

The new reddit UI solved this problem by simply not having users ever "leave" the home page.
