4chan style makes it easier to see which comments are new. However it does so at the cost of separation of subtopics. IMO 4chan style is not a good fit for HN because we often have many different conversations going on at the same time within the discussion of a story. If HN switched to 4chan style comments I believe that it would dramatically change the nature of the discourse for the worse.
