Still waiting for one sense in which the redesign is better for the user.

The new site is much better because it’s so slow and user hostile you stop browsing Reddit entirely.
Has there been any case where a redesign of an app or website is actually better than the older version?
People generally seemed to like Windows 3.11 → Windows 95 I guess? Also Mozilla Suite → Firefox (though some people still prefer the old way). It's just that when things are actually improved people tend to not remember them.
It's better for advertisers.
