It was clearly designed by a 5-year-old -- no, I take that back...my daughter could design a better front end than they did. They took a LOT of functionality, customization, and filtering capability out of the home page (no more Live Feed, no more filtering capabilities in the News Feed with the exception of either an ALL or NOTHING setting for individual friends). They increased the font size as if we were either children or geriatrics, and cluttered the page up so much it's difficult to find anything. They added an advertisement box at the top where it's distracting, not helpful, and they added a "Highights" feature which isn't helpful to anyone. They've removed or made difficult to find events (birthdays, etc.), and the Feed doesn't auto-refresh anymore (Live Feed used to auto-refresh, so you didn't have to reload the page every time). Overall, it's a bunch of crap, and anyone who says differently doesn't know anything about GUIs.
