I feel that this new design makes HN lose its personality and look more like some random, more generic page or blog following pervasive trends of design. Maybe it's the font or the spacing, I'm not sure. I'd stick with the current design. EDIT: as others have pointed out, there's also a significant loss of information density, and that can be quite annoying for the average HN reader.
