All and all, I think it is worse then the old version. I know they had to change servors and stuff because of the expected traffic, but couldn't they have kept things the way they were? Change is good and all but not when the old ways were better.
Ah, you see there's the point - the old system was broken. You probably couldn't see it, but it was. There was a reason we turned off chapter creation. Also, about a month ago, the system was up and down for 2 days, and we were literally about 1 minute away from permanently shutting it down before we found a temporary fix.
As for the layout, again - this release was mostly a functional release - the idea was to get it working, and then add the bells and whistles. So, things like configurable sidebars, and other such things, aren't here yet. But you do get titles and security roles, a stable forum, and the theme system is more flexible (you just can't tell yet).
Let me put it this way - with the old system, it would only have gotten worse. We just killed it off before you really started noticing the problems. With this new system, it will only get better.
Would you have preferred us to let the old system continue, suddenly die (on November 9th), and be offline for 6 months?
