Im not really sure whats going on here. Github without a doubt is great, however, I'm not really sure how people like these changes. The UI and general flow is going from a concise, fairly simple site (design-wise) to a bloated feeling over-designed (useless icons, far to much white space, and removal of info) website.

This is concerning because its a sign of to much focus, going from x1 amount of resources to x10 means you risk over-developing what was great. You have too much time, to many resources, so you over develop things when they truly don't need any changes (at the time). The only saving grace here is they could be in the middle of a shift to a much larger vision, so these changes all seem poor until it all comes together in the following months. I have to ask though, why the shotgun approach to the updates then, they should take their time, once a week would be enough change for me, allow me to actually feel out the changes before adding more. =/
