It is prettier. But it does not mean it provides a better UX.
For example, in http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html there is a whole list of essays. No pagination (and especially not with a manual link), working with Ctrl+F.
The redesign forgets about that. It treats as if only the most recent blog posts mattered, which is not the case. It is not a news outlet, and there are quite a few evergreen posts.
Anyway, wishing you all the best with the redesign. :)
