Lesswrong is certainly designed for the advanced user. Most everything on the site is non-standard, which seriously impedes usability for the new user. Considering the topic and intended audience, I'd say it's a feature, not a bug.

Nonetheless, the site definitely smacks of unix-geekery. It could be humanized somewhat, and that probably wouldn't hurt.

I am very new to the site, and have, in the short time I have been here, found it to be both a pleasure to navigate and easy to use.

Although I could very well fit under the category of "advanced user".
