Personally, I definitely dislike this skin, for its extreme change of putting the navigation into the horizontal direction and next to a rather oversized interwiki wikia toolbar, adding that pretty much oversized sidebar and adding a fixed pagewidth by default - a thing I never agreed with, especially as its included in every one of the new default monaco skins.

Dynamic pagewidths with a fixed minimum width seem to be far more useful in my opinion, especially if you are going to implement rather many / large pics into articles.

The toolbar might be quite useful, although that depends on the actual implementation and its customizabililty.

Keeping Monaco as an optional default viewer skin alike to how it is now (and NOT alike to how Monobook is implemented at the moment, all 3 of them should be optional default viewer skins as set by local wiki admins) seems to be a very popular idea though, one I definitely agree with, especially due to the lots of customization people put into customizing their wiki skins, which they may actually not want to change at all anytime soon.
