A few criticisms:

- Zero-indexing the post list is cute, but I don't think it helps with clarity.

- On a similar note, you've made the ranking a lot more visible, whereas before it was information I largely ignored. I'm not convinced it's actually important information

- I prefer chunky triangles to thin arrows to signify upvotes.

- By moving the secondary post information (points, author) to the side, it's become less clear that it's not part of the title. I'd increase the typographic contrast here.

- Number of comments is probably the 2nd thing I look at after the title, having it over on the right makes it harder to visually associate the comments count + link with its submission. Zebra-striping could help, but I'm not convinced having it on the right is a good choice.

- You've dropped the ability to flag posts, is this deliberate or an oversight?

Overall I like what you're trying to do here, but obviously any changes to the design are going to be a hard sell.
