It'll do. I like that it highlights new comments (but I'm not too keen on how the highlighting is done -- the thick green border looks pale and fuzzy).
There are a few glitches (even after cache-clearing):
My username is long enough that the end disappears behind the "Create new article" button.
The number of comments on a post is no longer displayed except in the page for that post.
Loading lesswrong.com gives a page in which none of "Promoted", "New", "Top", or "Saved" is highlighted.
"Nearby meetings" shows a single meeting, in Australia. I am in the U.K. How is the site deciding what is "nearby"?
Is there any page I can go to to see all forthcoming meetups, regardless of location? If I was travelling, I might very well want to know of meetups not currently "nearby".
The foot of each comment seems to have too much empty space in it, especially for nested comments.
I have some good news:

We'll review that styling.

Agreed - we'll fix that.

An oversight. We'll fix that.

I saw some discussion posts earlier talking about a LessWrong redesign, and now that things look different, I guess that it's been implemented. I'm always slightly annoyed for a while when a site I use gets redesigned because I have to relearn where everything is, but it eventually wears off once I'm used to the changes.
My initial impressions:
"Hmmm... it seems like the category menus have been replaced by dropdown menus. It's not like I used many of them anyway."
"Okay, I've clicked my name to see my recently posted comments. Now, where's the link to see it in context? Oh, I guess I have to click that icon in the lower right corner. For some reason I was looking for something at the upper right of the comment box."
"Well, that worked. Now how do I click to the parent comment? Oh, wait, it's probably one of those new icons in the lower right corner. I'll just mouseover them to see what they do..."
::realization sets in::
"AAUGH! LESSWRONG IS USING MYSTERY MEAT NAVIGATION!!!"
So, what does everyone else think of the new redesign?
