I go through new submissions a few times a week. A couple things that make it undesirable:
1. No way to limit to certain topics/tags. That means I'm seeing philosophy, politics, news, etc.
2. No way to see a summary without clicking the link and waiting for the page to load. Reasons this is bad: Title length is limited (for good reason) so titles on HN are routinely uninformative. There's more likely to be annoying ads/paywalls/etc. inside these posts. That's a lot of overhead to devote to a single potential vote for a probably-not-good post. As a result, I just skip over most links, and that's the same as not visiting the New Links page.
