Yeah, I hear this often, but I've never used RES and the site seems fine. Maybe I have some form of Stockholm Syndrome..

- kelseydh 11y agoOnce you use it, you'll be amazed at how behind the times Reddit is. The main improvement is loading all the images on one page, rather than needing to click and read each individually. RES has had this feature for years, it blows my mind Reddit hasn't made their feature set default for the site. Besides its impact on bandwidth, its such an obvious improvement to UI/UX.
- ars 11y agoThe most useful thing in it is the ability to load an image or video inline in the page. A single click and the image is there, and resizeable by dragging the mouse. It does other things too, but the images is the most important IMO. Without it you have to keep clicking back and forth from page to image.
- qu4z-2 11y agoI actually prefer to open images in new tabs. I do use the keyboard shortcuts though. If I had to use the mouse to switch I'd probably go insane too.
- wingerlang 11y agoI've used RES for years, just turned it off yesterday. The only thing I noticed was the inline things and 'ctrl + b' not working when bolding something. Autoload on scroll as well but that was even annoying at times.
