I'm sure it's been said before, but I don't see why there's this obsession with fixing what isn't broken. Seems like change for the sake of change.

The current layout puts the most important element ahead of all else: the headline, the link title, or whatever you want to call it. Everything else is secondary.

I don't particularly care who submitted it, what the amount of comments are, or the ranking, until AFTER I've read the article/page. If it's good content, upvote it. Isn't that the point?

I have liked some of the styling/design ideas people have come up with, but every one, as many have pointed out, just breaks things up in a way that makes it more difficult to digest what's being presented to me.
