+1 for preferring the old screenshot, for exactly those reasons
mentioned above. While it is fun for me to look at random
screenshots from Worg, part of the purpose of this site is as a
gateway to Org-mode, and I fear many of these random screenshots are
meaningless (or even intimidating) unless you already have a good
understanding of Org-mode.

I also find that (in part because of the new larger screenshots) I can't
see any content upon first loading the page (see this screenshot [1]).

I agree that the manual should be linked with the term "manual", as
(unfortunately IMO) it seems many Emacs and Org-mode users aren't
comfortable using the build in Emacs info system and prefer to use the
online manual exclusively.
Aside from those items mentioned above I do generally like the style of
the new site.
