Yes I noticed the change this morning and felt a bit sad and
disappointed by the new interface.
The good news is that the VT clone I sometimes go to, MacUpdate <http://www.macupdate.com/
>, seems quite good and has some apps that VT misses out on. I think
I will be visiting MacUpdate more often now.

Alas! VersionTracker is no more!
For almost as long as as we have been using the internet, http://www.versiontracker.com
has been a favourite repository of all that's new and good in the
world of Macintosh software, be it commercial, shareware or
freeware. If you wanted it, you could find it on VersionTracker. If
you visit the site today, you will be presented with an announcement
that the venerable resource has been assimilated by Download.com.
The friendly, familiar face of VersionTracker has gone forever in
favour of the somewhat more sterile and clinical screens of
download.com.
I, for, regard this as a sad day. I don't doubt that we'll have
access to just as much software as before, it will just be presented
in, for me, a much less interesting way.
Such is "progress".
