See for yourself.

The biggest complaint I have is that you can't hide the comments anymore. If that comment filterer for Firefox works on the new layout, looks like Google has lost themselves a Chrome user. The fact that the URL isn't available in a tidy little box is a minor, but noteworthy, complaint, since it's an unnecessary annoyance to backspace the playlist and other ampersand-related stuff in the browser bar.

I'll get used to everything else in about a week. Like like any given Facebook overhaul.

I love how YouTube somehow manages to get both uglier and harder to use with every update.

Placeholder signature. Will probably replace this tomorrow.

Now all of the videos going "SUBSKRIB 2 ME CLIK HER ->>>>>>>>>->~~~~>" are going to look retarded.

It's a step in the right direction.

They still need to get rid of that fucking retarded right column and the comment system, as well as playlisting and user pages.

Clicking the arrow next to the view count seems to do nothing but show "Loading...". Bugs suck.

I've had this new skin for around a month, when I first got it, I started whining too, but now I actually like this.
Well, I'm not the type to QQ everytime a site changes look, I just adapt. Kids on facebook making groups and petitions everytime make me rage.

But yea, although the skin looks a little wierd, the features are quite good. I personally like the new rating system, and they also moved the "X" button on subscription videos which makes me happy. Couple other neat features too, you'll see, just try it for a week

EDIT: Also, no it's not april fools day, since couple people had this skin for over a month now, testing it.

They removed the useful field where I could grab the video's url. That's not very convenient.

The new video info box is a bit annoying imo. It feels like it should display more than it does without needing to be expanded (I click expand every single time).

Hmm, grab it on top? Also, you simply have to press Share to get there, not so hard

True, shouldn't be hard to make a greasemonkey script that auto toggles it though.
What they should auto close are those descriptions that are like 1 page long and shit.

There's a feature I really liked which I can't get to work everytime (I'm not quite sure how it works, it's pretty random for me) is when you search and instead of changing the page, it makes your video smaller and loads the search next to it in another column. If someone figures it out, tell me.

Grabbing the link from the top bar is fine except when I get there from another video, and it adds a bunch of ugly crap at the end of the link. The Share button is nice I guess, still adds an extra step

My reaction to the new layout..

Its ugly, confusing, and more blegh. And JSUT when I was getting used to the new-ish layout for the user pages, THAT pops up.

OOoohhh maaaiii gaaahh -insert witty comment here-

I've had this 'new version' for a month now on my home pc. When i went to school or family they didn't have it but i like it a lot except for the new auto playlist and it's on for default.

Like I said, this has been out for some people for 2-3 months, so chances of it being a joke is very low.
Also, we know that the joke is TEXTp.

K2J & LH: I guess you're right, personally, I don't use it THAT often, and 1 step isn't that much, compared to the extra space it takes. Again, it's easy to make a script that auto opens the Share page, but yea.
