I don't understand the appearance complaints. Must every site look like a unicorn vomited it out?

I never minded the appearance too much, but the usability bothered me. I month or two ago I tried some of the chrome extensions (specifically HackerNew[1]), and it's made a big difference. In-line replies, hover to see user stats, collapsible threads, etc. I'm not enamored with the infinite scroll, but it's not horrible.

It makes it look a little slicker too, but I truly couldn't care less about that.

It's not a good mobile phone experience. It's fixed width <table> based.

It's never really bothered me much on mobile, and I use it extensively while mobile. It does bother me that comment indentation is not properly represented in elinks, but that is sort of an esoteric complaint that I can't really blame PG for.
