Agreed! I am suprised how many people here seem to defend the current design without question. I understand that there is a certain nostalgia attached to it but it looks seriously outdated. Every time I show reddit to my friends they get confused by the unintuitive cramped frontpage look, which might be an indicator that change would indeed be reasonable.

I think people are just so used to a unintuitive designs that when they see reddit (which is about as intuitive as it gets, it's so damn simple, no tricks) they actually think it's unintuitive when it's really the exact opposite. It's efficient. It's probably the most efficient site on the internet.

Humans are very strange. We had a new highway built bypassing our small town. People started getting killed on it because of some design choices. It had only been around a year, but some people did not want it changed. Needless to say, the state is making some changes that will lead to less people getting killed on it. People get attached to things irrationally and just seem to have an anti-change attitude.
