I still think it’s an improvement overall, and I support a policy of “when in doubt, experiment” and “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission”.
Better:
Meetups!
highlighting of unread comments!
Retracting comments instead of deleting them!
The icons are a bit better than text—well, except for the “reply” one, which looks like a “send PM”, but overal I think it’s better, it makes it slightly easier to quickly scan through the comments
The karma bubble is slighly better
Temporary setbacks
Some people have css cache problems, that should clear up soon
The comment counts have been lost :( But it should be fixed
Some bugs in comment submission—it doesn’t accept accented characters in locations, which is blatant discrimination against nous les français.
Worse
The header is uglier than before :(
There’s a bit too much spacing between comments, but that may just take some getting used to (it’s not as bad for comments you already read, it’s the new ones that have a lot of spacing).
It’s in “setbacks” because the edit window is too small so I have to scroll up and down and can’t see the comment as a whole so put it in the wrong place; also because I don’t reread although I should.

Why is this in “setbacks”? Do you mean you would prefer an even better karma bubble?
