I liked the base ideas of digg v4, but the current site's layout just isn't on par with either digg v3 or current reddit. I like the idea of subscribing to feeds and knowing my friend's votes on the topics we follow together - a kind of social google reader. They still have lots of work to do... Also, the site was down for most of the past week... hard to get traffic when your site is down. I don't think this migration could have gone worse for them.

I thought, "this whole v4 thing has gotta be bs" originally. Yet, I'm generally just on HN, ./ and reddit, so I don't notice. Then yesterday I went to Digg to submit a link, and I was shocked. This wasn't a minor UI tweak that got users upset (like Facebook does monthly), but it seemed to flip the site on its head completely. I can see why users were upset. I agree, the ideas were good- but good for another site, not to take a community a flip it upside down.
