"Are the site's users patient enough to wait for improvements and bug fixes?"
It is not about bugs or improvements. Diggv4 is a completely different site, that does not have a lot in common with the old Digg.
I am not negative per se about the new design, to me, it looks a lot cleaner, but thats about it. It is not the looks that bother me, it is the fact that the site completely changed its purpose. I have used Digg as a silent reader (non power-user) for a few years. I may have left some comments here and there, dugg a few articles, but most of the time, I just went there to get "what the community decided was the best of the internet right now".
This feature is the one that IMO has been left out in the new version, the site has no interest in providing that service anymore, it seems.
The new version is filled with stories I have no interest in, the amount of diggs a top-story gets is marginal at best compared to diggv3.
The site has completely lost its energy, it has degraded to a pretty looking collection of automatically aggregated stories that a lot of people no longer care about.
