Not a fan of the weird "intro". Just show me the content I came for. I don't have an opinion on the new logo, but I definitely think they should have put more work in making this redesign easier to navigate and more readable. It looks like it was a redesign for the sake of a redesign. What problem was this trying to solve?

The usability on the old site was too high, developers loved it but management were confused by the directness and lack of bullshit.

So they redesigned it for sales, and away from their core demographic.

PS - Google should really penalise sites that operate intros.

I liked old site: it was warm and fuzzy.
