It has little to do with the look and feel. Loading a "new" reddit page feels like going on a 2010s news page without an adblocker. The page takes 15 seconds or more to load. Elements are shifting around during that time. If I'm not logged in, I get a screengrabbing beg ad to install their apps. Reddit code is trash. The old version is just much simpler and therefore less annoying. If it weren't for the fact that the smaller subreddits have lots of value, no one would put up with it.
