Any criticism on Stack Overflow's design? Not because of anything recent, I just thought of asking. Either about the design, and about the directions it's taking as well.

I think they are doing a good job. Everything gets better and better.

I hate how if you're not logged in, the cookie warning takes up 1/8 of the screen and the Google login box takes 1/4 of the screen.

I mentioned it back during the summer in this post, as well as all the other problems I've have with Stack Overflow

The font they use to display code is just atrocious.

i truly hate the new design of comments. i don't care about the avatars, and the buttons between comments just made the readability worse. same with the "comments" header and input field.

they should realize their purpose is not to emulate facebook wall posts

(fortunately, can be still turned off when logged in. question is for how long)
