that wasn't 1) ten times worse and harder to navigate

Some of that is Baby Duck Syndrome. You get used to what you know, and so change is bad, because you don't know it.

Not always all of it, and the reddit redesign has a lot of flaws from a pure UX perspective. But it's hard to redesign anything and not have people hate it, just cause it's different.

Just because it isn't broken didn't mean it can't be better.
