I don't find it terrible, but I think the question text on the main page could be larger than the Votes/Answers information. I mean, isn't the question more important the number of votes or answers? I'm not scanning the home page for the question with the most votes or answers.

Or, from another angle:

What kind of effect will making the number of votes, answers, and views more prominent than the question have on the site? Will it encourage gaming the system / posting for points rather than to be helpful?
