"Greatest" and "trending" sections are still taking up WAY too much space and are on top of the news, on the desktop version. News should be "above the fold". Considering that only a tiny fraction of readers are required to make these stories "trending" or "greatest", it obscures the actual information that I, at least, come here to see. Maybe place them in a table side-by-side in the same column, and dramatically reduce the font size of the Recs number, it's just not that relevant. As I write this, four of the top 5 are at 30 recs. Personally I would prefer those under the Pic of the Moment, and Featured Stories Under that, and News at the top of Column 2.

Video column is good, thank you.

Overall, I have to say, my time at DU has dropped considerably since the change, I probably come by 30-40% as often as before. I'll eventually get used to it on desktop, but it is not as easy to use or to find what I am looking for. The phone version is almost unusable, I don't like scrolling for ten screens (gives me a headache), past all the forums, latest, trending, blah, blah to get to actual news, so that version has dropped to basically zero for me, and not likely to be used at all.
