I agree with you there.

I used to love the old one, but the more I see of this new one, I realise it's got so much more potential.

Not to mention that the code difference and minimalism creates some less amount of mess. I can see the new theme being quite popular already. Once it gets implemented people will like it and the cycle of hating another theme will repeat in future (just for consideration). The logic is that, the more you use the forum, the better the theme gets on eyes.
