1. Everything is bloated. The comfy header, myriad bubble quotes, and excess space make HN look like a daycare for those that have an unhealthy obsession with Wordpress and Dora the Explorer. The precise, technical vibe that exists with the website simply isn't there.
2. The bubble quotes are deal-breakers. They take up plenty real estate, are identical, and don't line up vertically. Your eyes are more attuned to the "wave" that's going on in the right than the stories themselves.
3. Taking a second look I half-expected the HN logo and login button to be circular.
