I feel much the same way.

Looking at one of the subs I run though - old.reddit.com accounts for 5% of total traffic. Whilst 5% is not nothing, it's also not really all that much. I doubt they'd notice much impact even if half of the old.reddit.com users left.

Wow, I wonder if the 95% of reddit users for your sub that use the new format are net new to the site, or if there actually are a lot of old-reddit users that happily converted to the new UI.

Don't get me wrong, the old UI was awful, but it was much more information-dense, so I prefer it. I think it's unlikely that anyone that's not already a turbo-nerd would come as a completely new Reddit user, compare the two, and pick the old UI.
