I appreciate how the new design makes a lot of Google+ features first class citizens. Chat, Circles and hangouts can be easily seen and accessed in this new design which makes for a more enjoyable social experience for me as I browse.

I've got to agree. The fact that games and pages are sort of put on the back burner (but can be changed by user preference) really shows that Google cares about nailing the core experience. They've done a great job so far of keeping the stream one of the most pure places for information on the internet, as far as pollution goes. They didn't take the Facebook route of pushing the games section front and center.

Note that + doesn't have ads either.
