Propeller’s New Design. The Worst Ever? Yes.

So the new Propeller design just came out. My god. No, it’s not April 1st. It’s a design so bad it wouldn’t even be plausible as the poster-child for bad design. Ok, maybe not that bad. Just kidding - it IS that bad. “What were they thinking,” is the appropriate cliché. See/click on the photo below for my in-depth analysis.

    I like the new design… its clean and easy to read… The only thing I don’t like… the grid is the same of engadget…

    @Edouard: hey man, give “Props” to AOL for re-using the same template over and over again to save… at least… 5 000$ or so… come on, it’s not like if they were a billion dollar company, so 5k is 5k ;)

    I’m glad someone spoke out and said it…what were they thinking? I honestly can say I loved the original.

    The original was ugly but usability friendly.

    The new one is ugly and impossible to use (and to understand the 10.0 formula)

    I agree..Propeller’s new design is a bit frustrating..I was expecting something better but then in a way it just degraded.
