The design of the homepage is pretty awful, in my opinion. It lags on anything a few years old and the multiple columns make it hard to pick out articles. I don't read The Verge specifically because I think the homepage is terrible.
I'm equally annoyed with ArsTechnica's three column layout. I either have to skim titles horizontally which is confusing because each column is a different category, or scroll down, back up, down again, back up, etc. just to look at all the headlines.
People read left to right, top to bottom. The homepage layout should follow that pattern. Anything else is counter-intuitive.
