design feel incredibly busy to anyone else? Yes. My first impression was even worse than the usual PhpBB mess that you see every day. At least your average PhpBB layout is relatively static. In Discourse everything constantly flickers, pops up, slides out... The information I care about is buried under all sorts of noise; What are the 5 avatar icons in the thread-list supposed to tell me? Why is the thread-information below the first post? Why on earth are reply-quotes hidden by default and reveal with a painful sliding animation? I love the simple interface of Stack Overflow. They added a lot of crap over the years but managed to keep it on the right side of the screen where it can be safely ignored (I'm only talking about the actual "question"-page, I haven't used any other SO-page in years). Please make this look more like SO and less like someone trying to use all his favorite javascript widgets on every page...
