I understand where you're coming from; the php.net website is by no means beautiful and the design does lack creativity, BUT, I think that the main purpose of this site is information and no looks. It's all about the documentation and the code examples and the comments. It's a site for a programming language, we don't need beautiful design, animations transitions or any other eye-candy. I think that even the flikr footer is superfluous and we could do without it.

The most important thing is how information is structured and how easy it is to get to it; and from that point of view I am very pleased with the new website. It's a lot easier to read through than the old one and a lot easier to find what you need.

I don't find it easier at all, the purple blocks / elements overwhelm the content.

The old site looks way better for 'information consuming' than the new version.

My two cents.
