Does anyone know if this new interface is utilizing any JavaScript front-end library? I'll assume safely the answer is no, since each public pad instance (http://etherpad.com/qT6VIf0T1j) also generates a css file (http://etherpad.com/static/compressed/031904e16a8466d1d48452... ~2000 lines) and a js file (http://etherpad.com/static/compressed/d0537b549791338e55ba31... ~8000 lines), not to mention the developers founding this venture are ex-Googlers and probably preferred defining the front-end from scratch.

If you're in for a trip, copy and paste the JavaScript into a beautifer (http://jsbeautifier.org/) then clear your mind because it's gonna get blown.
