With all respect, I do not like this new layout. It is not enjoyable, and it is actually uncomfortable to look at. Haven't done much navgation yet, but from what I gather that might not be so good either.
I will give it a few days, but I already don't want to be on here. That sucks because I love my fellow MFers (inside Garden Club joke).
At least I'll come on to update my spade when it's time, but can't imagine doing much more. 
(Just adding, I am sick right now, so I will give it another chance when I feel better just in case it's my sicky-poo attitude doing the talking.)

Hopefully a happy compromise can be found or I see the board/forum viewing/participation will be greatly impacted. I don't use mobile for this site I am sure this is where it shines, just feels like we lost some of the core features for desktop users as well. Have just started to use it, but things such as how many time a post has been viewed, among many other things. Feedback is good as hopefully will be taken into consideration, just try to keep it in a positive light and not turn it into negativity.
Hi CreditCuriousity, the weird thing is that the mobile version is even worse. The old version was very "clean" and was enjoyable. It's being discussed in the Garden thread that to make mobile somewhat work you actually have to request a desktop version on it. But it's still not good even after doing that.
I'm settling down. I'm sure there are kinks to work out and things will get better. I am used to user interface changes, and other types of changes at work, so I'm sure I will be able to roll with this.

You are not alone. It is annoying meh
Well I zoomed out to 70% on Firefox. One reply takes a whole 23" screen. Sorry but not liking this. I read more than post. But the fonts have got to be a smaller size. This white is blinding. Tweak the CSS Code amd make things smaller and chose a softer background. JMO.
