Personally, I tend to side with you here - there's a couple of things that are now more difficult for me, require more mouse clicks or more squinting at the screen, or Greasemonkey hacks. To be fair, I only discovered that I was making use of these things once they were gone. Had someone asked be before, I probably wouldn't have been able to say "features A, B, and C are important for me so please don't design them away" ;) the more "database-like" browse pages on which the map was just a small square are an example of that. Interestingly, amongst the mainly positive echoes on talk-de, there were a few people claiming just the opposite of what you and I seem to feel: They said that the new layout was too much in favour of "veterans" and less welcoming for newbies - something that I don't see and I have yet to understand why people would think that.
