I agree with the vast majority of the comments that the new layouts are a good try, but in a word they SUCK.  The interaction and ability to keep track of individual subscribers and the info displayed in everyone's channel helped you get to know other users. Now everyone is a plain vanilla (or grey) blob with no way to individualize it. Where are the subscribers? Where are the interactive comments? I tried it for 10 minutes and immediately switched back to the old layout. Leave a good thing alone!
