Really? The only issues I've found are the odd rendering. Using a library like jQuery neatly and safely abstracts out the programming model issues.
I find it solid, albeit it a poor renderer.

Jquery is best, Chris. It has cleaner abstraction model, elegant DOM manipulation and lucrative plugins. No doubts in that.
Our app uses a rich combination of High Charts which keep updating based on user operations in the screen. We have a rich interface in FF, Chrome, Safari, IE9 but the page is literally frozen between the AJAX calls and painting of the high charts parsing very simple JSON objects.

Trying to do a layout like that with divs is really flaky. Some time ago, I tried to create a website without any tables for layout ... I gave up and used a table for a header when I needed a section in the upper right and the vertical space to be reliable.

Not necessarily. As long as the pages are standardized things should be looking stable and good, unless and otherwise we invite trouble by accommodating non-compliant user-agents (aka) browsers into the group as well.

Excluding 'non-compliant user-agents' means quite a large proportion of internet users won't be able to use your site.

I need to get bigger screen now 
The mild grey is a little too mild, it appears hazy on my screen, probably because this is a 5 year old LCD. I guess all these colours look crisper on a Mac ( where I presume the dev work took place  ) but it's like peering through misted glass on my PC.

Agreed. The forums seem harder to read.

Even the articles are a little harder to read, maybe it's just the new feeling. On longer articles, the middle sections of the page is all text in the middle with white all round, it's kind of seamless and so far, monotonous. The font looks good but is harder to read as it's thin and dainty. I'll eventually get used to it, but this is the only chance I'll get to gripe about it.

I think the only thing that really bothers me is the unnecessary vertical padding around text that has been introduced with the new look. But it makes the forums really hard to read. For me, at least.

Agreed. It also takes up more room on the screen, so I had to decrease the size to get the same info on the same screen. The links to The Lounge and other Forums don't show whether they been selected already or not.
Bummer!

I got a bigger screen not long ago... Happy about it too, because I wouldn't fit a single lounge post on my old screen.
I can barely fit a few on my new one though... 
It's an OO world.

Well, it was designed for developers. The new one's for anyone who codes, and we know who that includes!

I have a sneaking suspicion that I've seen this before...

America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde
Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

Did anyone else have to restrain the strong urge of pointing out all the reposts in the last few threads...?

It certainly looks like we know what the primary topic of conversation is going to be for the next few days.

There are some things worth repeating.
