I like the facebook redesign. I think it's snappy and I can still easily get to all the information I need when looking up contact info. Further, the AJAX loads pages considerably faster, and in many cases incrementally (e.g. pictures), radically decreasing the effective "response time" of the site.

I really have to wonder why we're even talking about it in a controversial way instead of an analysis of the technological changes and their effect on the site. It seems this is the wrong site for a controversial facebook design argument.
