Honestly, it's not THAT bad, at least not for how I use it.

Yes, I dislike change. And the new "comment" format on LiveJournal is a change. But, for the way I use LJ, it's not bad.

But perhaps I'm grading on a curve, ever since I started looking at Facebook, which is an anthropological experiment in how bad one can make a product and still have people use it. (The other researcher in this study is George Lucas.)

Damn this is FUGLY! I can't imagine WHY they felt the need to make this change. i mean what the hell is the use-case to justify expending effort on it??

On the bright-side I can now access icons that I lost when I stopped being a paid user. I'm sure that that is a temporary oversight.
