Agreed, the new layout is, while objectable, awful - In general, the new site layout adding a new click is fine in my opinion, however the change was unnanounced from what I can tell and had no prior feedback phase to hear from the community itself, things such as the "shortcut buttons" (Since they are classed as "home-create-btn ibox" in the HTML, for those wondering why I'm saying "shortcut buttons".) While I like the My Creations and Templates shortcuts, it's not gonna hut if you use an extra click, is it?
The new layout itself is also highly confusing, for example at first I thought that by "Followed" (in the followed streams section) it meant just another shortcut to view a list of followed streams, however this is turning into a rant and I do not want to use this meme as an excuse to rant on it, even if someone's gonna call me nerdy for this long comment and the fact I bother viewing inspect.
I agree with this meme, to be honest - The new site layout change is awful, and I wish there was more hearing from the community than launching a new, unannounced, complete "redesign" of a page, if there was a phase of that, then I'm probably just blind as I never saw.
Kind of wish there was an option to atleast toggle this, incase anyone likes it - I'm up for getting an "OBJECTION!" shouted in my face, it's just that I kind of wish that if there is a feedback phase, it's more public, or atleast there is one before it's pushed out.
