I think this is a pretty decent redesign. It does look like it sacrifices a bit of information-density, however. The assumption seems to be "Reddit-as-imageboard," even though a number of subreddits are much more text-oriented where the large thumbnails serve no purpose other than to show fewer posts at a time.

Additionally, I don't know if the workflow he presented is entirely realistic. When I use HN, for example, I scan the front page, opening the discussions I find interesting in new tabs and then just moving down the list. I would use Reddit in much the same way. I'm probably not typical, but I'm probably not part of a tiny minority either.
