The only times I ever used Google+ was because of the Communities. They're well designed and implemented, and they were always Google+'s strongest selling point. It seems they're taking a more Communities-focused approach, which seems like the right path for them.

Really? I found them confusing and difficult to navigate. The two column layout makes it difficult to keep track of chronological order, and the lack of static or promoted posts means that important info is often lost several pages back. Also, I find the load times really really slow.

Uh? IMHO pictures were their strongest point. They emphasise and manage pics better than FB.

It appears Photos was strong enough to make it its own product.
