No. Hold up.
This interface has 1 obvious reason that I see that no fancy polished interface can ever come close to: loading speed.
- quacked 4y agoThe day HN starts running that awful "squares on squares" JS design method where everything is a button with no borders is the day I leave HN. Luckily I don't think that day is coming.

- JohnFen 4y agoI prefer HN website design for an entirely different reason: readability. More "modern" designs put a lot of crap and distractions between me and what I'm at the site to do: read the articles and/or comments. HN doesn't so that, and that makes the HN design a million times better than most others.
