Dec 17, 2012 at 0:39 comment added the-wabbit @JohnGardeniers I would not say it changed for the worse. It just ... changed. As this frequently happens to other Web (2.0) sites, I stopped questioning the rationales long ago. If Joel wanted a new look, there would be nothing to stop him anyway (well, except maybe a number of angry venture capital companies' managers calling his desk and asking him to think again), so all is left is hoping for the better. Also, I don't believe things like a design would get changed without major consultations - so it is probably much more than just "one dev".
Dec 17, 2012 at 0:11 comment added John Gardeniers Being a skeptic by nature you'll understand when I say that I'll believe it when I see it. Regardless, it still doesn't understand why something that had no need to be changed was changed for the worse when there are so many things that need to be changed. As far as I'm concerned it's just another case of a dev changing something to suit his own weird sense of style.
Dec 16, 2012 at 23:43 comment added the-wabbit @JohnGardeniers Jin - who apparently is the one in charge for the template changes, stated Instead of a major release of changes at once, I prefer to do small incremental ones so it's less of an impact. I assume this is partly a bad case of The journey is its own reward - Taoism. But since something is moving, I would expect things to move on and eventually get the broken features fixed.
Dec 16, 2012 at 0:41 comment added John Gardeniers It's also worth noting that the changes that have been made are inconsistent with the general appearance of the site, which makes them even more of an eyesore than they would be otherwise. The vote count compared to the rest looks like Laurel and Hardy.
Dec 15, 2012 at 21:59 comment added user9517 Mod None of the complaints have been addressed :(
Dec 15, 2012 at 21:43 comment added John Gardeniers Yes, there have been complaints. I can't recall the font weight that I'm referring to being one of them. If changes are required they should be to those things people have complained about.
