As someone who started using internet in 1997. (I still consider myself green) - this is a perfect website.

Could it use improvement? Yes. Does it need it? No.

Simple, fast, does one thing and does it great, has no featuritis and overblown annoying "UX" that current web suffers from.

God, exactly. I don't come to news aggregators to see user profiles. I don't come for chat. I don't come for suggested articles. I don't come for any of the 'new' features people seem to want to cram into every god damned thing (Reddit, I'm looking at you).

I come because there will be insight into articles/stories that I won't get from any other site. And all you need for that is a simple threaded discussion.
