In my humble opinion, it's not a horrendous change. Admittedly the old format was better and we as a community are accustomed to it, but this new format could indeed be worse. The article reader certainly isn't terrible. The editor could use a few tweaks, but not many. All in all it's a change, rather than an improvement or regression.
