If you don't like Wikipedia's look, create one yourself! User styles are freeing. Here's what I currently have: https://i.imgur.com/P6Ie59b.png (unchanged: https://i.imgur.com/HOKASy8.png)

I like the ToC on the left side, but I also liked how only the content had a white background in the old version. I find it draws my eye to the content much better. With that change and a few others to reduce the whitespace here and there, I like my version much more than what Wikimedia has done. https://pastebin.com/A3CZxg8m

I don't see any difference. I concur with your assessment on the ToC, but my main complaint is that monolinguals seem to have decided for the rest of us that changing language should involve multiple clicks in the top right corner.

User styles are freeing, and so are user scripts! Languages moved to sidebar.

Thanks!

Nice looking. The solid white seems to be the most often critique of new skin.
