I can't think of a single popular site redesign that actually made the site better. They're almost inevitably worse, usually much worse.
A common failing is trying to make the design more shiny and pretty while decreasing functionality, dumbing the site down, adding bloat, and slowing the site down to a crawl.
I really hope Reddit does not go down this road, because they really have a good thing going now. It would be a real shame to ruin it.
