>That's not entirely true... the redesign has some moderation and content submission improvements. But, if you don't mod or submit content then you might not notice those improvements.

But the only reason that is true is because they consciously left those new features out of the old interface. The improvements for moderators could be added to the original layout just the same.

For actually using the site the old design is about 100x better in every way except for mindless scrolling.

Sure. But to be fair, that is true with most new versions of any software... the developers could always commit resources to adding the new features to the old version too, but they're trying to migrate users to the new version so they don't have to commit resources to two versions.
