I wanted to come up with a nice snarky counterpoint, but figured I should go have a look first. The new landing page looks nice, and it no longer looks like a download.com clone packed with adware. Good job.

Request: Stop making javascript only pages. I browse with noscript enabled and I noted most of the 'new' things use javascript loaders, so I can't see them. This will help regain the trust of privacy loving users.

Also, while Javascript is sometimes useful web pages (as opposed to web applications) IMO shouldn't depend on it.

Quite right. It's just like css. It may enhance a page, but pages should always fail back gracefully to basic content if a user cannot support it.
