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.)

Lack of a preview button means I can't error check my code, in those cases where I need to use mark up for emphasis, protocol / grammer (book titles should be underlined, for example) or to identify LJ users.

Same thing is true for spelling errors, although that bothers me less.

I haven't figured out how to post comments from the comments page itself (and therefore I'm not sure it's possible).

None of the new features (insert photo, insert video, switch) have any value or use for me.

So, overall, the new format is worse than the old one, at least for how I use LJ.
