I disagree. I think making a "general interest" section for Vanities, sports, entertainment, cheese and moose was a brilliant move.
The new format will take some getting used to, and I predict that Jim and John will be making some tweaks is response to the criticism.
But, can we ask nice?
Not at you Saber - I just have seen a lot of unnecessary anger on the thread.
It would have been nice for that to be a Custom Feature, for those who wished it that way.
For those like me who don't, different color fonts for News vs. General Interest threads would have been ideal.
