Now ask an SI member that has been here for at least 2 years and your answer may be quite different.

Clearly, the [beta] is a more appealing design.

Yes it is (well, except for the olive drab) if you're just going to look at a few static pages. BUT, the old site worked better for reading and navigating threads and messages, especially with the addition of BrowseMaster.

Looking forward to the next beta "update". Let's see what SI has in store for us before we flog this subject too much further.

No offense intended, but your friend is in the book business. He's not necessarily good at design.

I'm also in the publishing business (by default, I write publishing software).

There's no comparison for me, either. The beta site is unreadable and offensive.

There, now the vote from people who work in publishing is neutral.
