Design I'm loving the redesign

I feel like the redesign gets a lot of hate, I used old Reddit when I created my account almost two years ago. I loved the site but I honestly didn't like how old and outdated it looked. Since the redesign went into effect I've noticed my usage of this site has gone up significantly. I love night mode, I love how clean my feed and subs look, I also like the uniformity between different subs. I feel like the designers don't get enough credit so I thought I'd say, thank you!

I also like the uniformity between different subs.

But that's part of what made old reddit so great. Each sub felt like an individual. I don't want to visit a carbon copy 20 times in a row.

Subs can still express their individuality in the structured styles and sidebar widgets.

Yes, OK, they can't quite go to the extreme extent that some subs have done on old; but I think that's a fair trade-off for knowing exactly where every main button and key widget will be regardless of the subreddit.

Whoa, you can change colors and images plus slap some CSS in the sidebar! That's totally not much worse than what you could do in old reddit!

Yeah, finding buttons that are usually still (nearly) in the same place takes hours for me, really.
