Some parts I'll admit I actually like e.g the "profile", "talk-page" layout etc. But the rest is awful. Apart from updating a few of the graphics so wikis look modern (which could be done without a drastic change!) the rest of the skin is really, really bad.

Tasks which were easy before now take me about 10 minutes to do, the fixed width doesnt work on all wikis (so why force the skin on everybody?), and all the templates are all going to be playing up because of the limited space. Not to mention infoboxes are going to be in the middle of the page.

Some ideas here work really well. Others, don't. The skin needs a really big redesign before being forced on us all. If it gets shoved on us, as it is, I will no longer be using Wikia and switiching to a more sensible wiki-format. ShoutWiki for example.
