I like it. It isn't as noticeable as the last one, but it offers several improvements. No more full bottom bar, a more integrated experience, etc.

At this point, I wonder why Facebook can't just let us choose our own layout.

Not like Myspace. Just give us a specific set of layouts to choose from, and whichever one we choose stays the same accoss every profile we access.

You mean like giving people the option to choose out of the Facebook layouts they've preferred?

That wouldn't be nearly as bad as Myspace.

That said everyone bitches about the new Facebook for a while but they're so addicted eventually they STFU and get used to it.

Yes, and also yes. All those "Please change the Facebook layout back" groups are hilarious.

I still like the Facebook Lite layout more than this, but this is a definite improvement over the mess that was the old layout

I don't have a problem with them cbanging, I have a problem with HOW OFTEN they change it.

Seriously, do they have a bunch of retards working or something? Hire some professionals who can give you a good system the first time around.

I'm pretty sure the don't have a bunch of retards working there that just continually get things wrong. Just like everything, as time goes on, better ways of doing things are discovered and so they adapt to change and implement things to improve. Isn't that how a successful business works?

This one was, though. I find this better uses space on the front page.

It's funny that on everything facebook posts, no matter the topic, you see hundreds of people saying "change it back...blah..blah..bl ah". The post could be a human interest story regarding FB, etc. (nothing even remotely relevant) and people start to complain.
