Hi,
I honestly liked the old one better. Some of my concrete criticism are:
- The old screenshot conveyed what org-mode was all about. Outlining
and project planning. The new screenshots take a lot longer to load
and even if you click on them, their content is not always accessible.
- I don't like this particular type writer font. On a Mac it's very thin
compared to the serifless font that makes up the normal text. But
that's just aesthetics.
- I don't like the fixed top bar with the Org-Mode motto and the random
quote. It takes up about 20% of vertical screen space of my laptop. A
complete waste in my view. The black background also does not cover
the text behind it -- one or two pixel of the text are visible above
the bar.
- The old homepage had all the easily accessible information on one
page. So you could go to the homepage, search for "manual" or "mailing
list" and go on from there. (I sometimes work like that.) The new
homepage only contains screenshots (that don't convey a lot of
meaningful information) and the org-mode mission statement. Useful
information is available but the links are somewhat hidden in the
description of what org is about and some are hard to find. (E.g. the
manual is linked with the text "documented extensively".) I believe
that people quickly scan web pages for relevant information and the
current format makes that hard.
Cheers,
Viktor
