It's not all bad but for me it only feels like a first draft.

And the "design jumps" are irritating while navigating.

I don't see myself as a web "designer", so I'm lacking the right vocabulary to express my unease.

It's like a simplified look and feel was "borrowed" from another simpler site and retrofitted over a more complex interface.

I wished they had kept a switch to the old design as an option ... or at least as reference.

    Funny, I listed very similar things when I gave a talk about principles which should be kept in mind when trying to evolve Perl.
