> I like the design. I don't like the small steps to make it more mobile friendly (so for example I use the classic subjectmarks page), but most of those are either minor or avoidable.

I like the design too and have also turned off the new features that make it more mobile friendly because it's still much easier to use a computer for posting purposes here.

A good redesign using responsive web coding could keep both old and new interfaces as the transition is made to the new one. I see it all the time on large sites like eBay and Facebook where they solicit user feedback about the changes when giving an option to go back to the previous design.

That kind of coding requires a lot of time and money.

> I only bring SI up on a phone if I want to show someone else something posted here. Its not just SI, but sites like Reddit, I can't imagine regularly browsing on a phone despite the fact that it has a mobile app. I could see something like Facebook (although I don't go on that on my phone, or at all as much as I used to).

Yes, but how old are you? I think you're making my #1 point for me here, and I only realized it recently when thinking about the young people I know and how extensively they use their smartphones.

I think we can all list a hundred things we used to be able to do when we were "young" which we can't do now. High on the list is stuff that kids can do on their phones these days we can't imagine is even possible.
