I find so much whitespace to the left tries to grab my attention and makes it harder to focus on the content.

It says something about how we've (all) been trained to read the web that you find an empty margin more distracting and grabbing of attention than the previous thing that occupied that area of the screen -- a fairly useless list of wikipeida navigational links we had all learned to ignore.
Second take: oh wait, the menu in the left was completely useless and they replaced it with the table of contents for that particular entry. That’s actually a welcome change. I’ll get used to “different so it sucks” soon enough anyway, that’s my fault not theirs.
It’s kind of fascinating when you catch yourself having knee-jerk reactions and “watch” your brain correct them.
