13 Truly Wonderful
I had only been thinking about ALA last night in bed (no really), and wondering why it seemed to have died..nice surprise this morning to find it resurrected in all it’s new found glory. Now happy as a pig in doo-dah..
Have we now arrived at the days when we can design at fixed width, 1024×768? Not that I personally have a problem with that.

15 Love it!
Great Job all of you!
I really feel at home with the new design.
That said only one thing irks me: Did it really have to be Verdana? Lucida would have done the readability-trick too as it did in 3.0.

16 Nice one
A nice, clean design that puts the focus squarely on the content, and a bold move to target larger monitors.
Well done, lads!

17 Great work
Great work from all concerned. I like how you’ve rebranded and yet there are aspects which still feel very much like previous incarnations.
The illustrations by the way are superb. I’d come here just to see them to be honest.
OK, enough sycophancy ;o)

18 Soon to be copied in many places
A very nice design indeed. I’m sure we’ll start seeing copycats emerge, i.e., that “sincerest form of flattery” thing.
This is really nice work.

20 Awesome
I visited the States for the first time recently and was struck by how common this word was in use. Here in ‘stiff upper lip’ Britain we reserve it for things that are truly awesome!
Awesome redesign guys!
