[I don't have stats, but one anecdote:]
I was originally a desktop user of Reddit, before the redesign. At some point I also installed Sync Pro to read occasionally on mobile, but it wasn't my primary interface to Reddit.
I'm generally pretty open to redesigns. I don't have the dislike of change, and am ok with taking a little while to adapt to something new. Its usually an investmet in a better approach (e.g. MS Office introducing the Ribbon). So when the Reddit update happened I wasn't one of those people who rigorously stuck to Old Reddit - I just waited until I got used to it.
What actually happened is that I stopped using Reddit online at all. Everything was so slow. It just became a chore to read threads. I didn't make this decision consciously, it's just what happened over time.
