Creator of Zensical here! As always, it's a matter of taste. We felt the original look was a little date. You can use the classic Material for MkDocs look with Zensical by adding a single line of configuration[1]. This works because the HTML is exactly the same right now. Most users favor the new look over the old one.

From the feedback we got after launching. More accurately: most users that we conversed with since launch are very happy about the new look. Regardless, for compatibility reasons, the old look is available as well.

Early adopters are a very distinct set of users. Probably not great to extrapolate from it.

If you are expecting your market share to grow, then new users will outnumber existing users and it might be wise to extrapolate.

I do think it's looking fine, and above all a cross between Android (Material 3 Expressive), Windows 11 'Fluent UX', and iOS which I think will make many feel right at home. This wasn't really the case with the "old" Material style.
