What's the issue with it? I see nothing but hate, but I honestly don't mind the new design. Edit: lol, I participate in a lot of contentious threads here, but this simple question where I am genuinely trying to understand something has generated the most downvotes.

for me personally, it's slower to load and seems to have more issues. There's a good chance if new reddit is struggling to load, old.reddit.com loads just fine

People who are used to it are mostly power users generating content for reddit and their subs. It's absolutely reddits right to ignore their preferences but also at their peril. Reddit is precariously close to doing a 'Digg'.

  Digg had Reddit waiting in the wings to take advantage of their missteps. While other Reddit-like sites exist, none of them seem to be capable or even desire to be the next Reddit. The opportunity is certainly there but there's little interest most likely because Reddit has no good path to profitability. Anyone who invests in a Reddit killer would need to do it for reasons other than monetary.

    the only people wanting to be reddit are filled with political extremist, racist, fascist, and anarcho libertarians.

      not personally triggered, but putting side by side racist, fascist and ancap is a little unfair?

It's slow and not very responsive. Everything from opening a thread, to expanding/collapsing a comment thread and pretty much all other operations are slow. Definitely a lot slower than old plain reddit or HN. It wastes too much screen estates for no reason. On my screen about half the width is wasted on the left and right blank spaces. It breaks a lot of subs' custom theming. The comment section navigation is horrible. It only shows comment maybe 5-6 level deep and if you expand then you will have to "go back" later. When you first go into a thread, it also doesn't show all comments, and instead requires an additional click to "View entire discussion".
