Slashdot has never been a beautiful website. I remember the previous redesign - it made the site look a bit different, but it was essentially the same. (And the html is not very pretty either) However, Slashdot has also always been about the discussion, so a lack of prettiness is easily forgiven. I feel that this redesign fails on this count, since the new design while being still average, it makes the discussion page less usable. Instead of the wide discussion page that made it easier to navigate large threaded discussions, you now have a narrower page that makes the comments feel like an added afterthought.
