I think the new look for YouTube kinda sucks. Seems like a lot of wasted space for "recommended" videos and less space to actually show my subscribed videos.

I was most disappointed. I subscribe to quite a few channels, quite a few of which will upload multiple files every day. Now, it only lists one video unless I click a very small text indicator under that video. It also does not have a "watched" indicator that I can find.
I also don't think I've ever watched a "recommended" video in my life. I watch what I subscribe to, and that's it. I don't want your recommendations, Google.

Very poor use of the available space, on my 24" widescreen monitor 40% of the screen is blank.

I usually try not to hate just because it's different. But I like the old layout because it had a wide vertical row for my subscription videos and each subscription usually showed 4 or so of the recent uploads in a horizontal row. I could see everything pretty easily at a glance.
Now you just got this one long vertical row. It's kinda a Twitter like layout now. Hard to see at a glance what has been updated in all my subscriptions. So I have to click the subscriptions on the left. And I may have to scroll down to click on a subscription, then scroll up again to see it's recent videos.
Bleh. It's looks pretty. But feels like a little ease of use was sacrificed.

Windows 7 has generally been a well received UI update over Vista.

Youtube has been implementing crap features for years now. This one is the worst by far though.

regarding the windows topic, i'll agree with that but imho win7 ui is still vastly subpar compared to windows xp's ui. doing the same things in winxp are just so much faster/less clicks/etc. hate win7 ui

First gmail, then youtube!
I like the Win7 UI look. I don't really use the UI that much, pretty much everything I do in Windows is either launched through Launchy or the search at the bottom of the start menu. Always get lost when I look for things manually because I don't do that anymore.

I find win7 to be far superior in UI. Simply start typing for what you want. When I go back to XP, I find myself trying to use the RUN menu like win7's search bar. LoL
As for YouTube, I don't mind it. It is still better than the Gmail update.

I've tried and I've tried and I just can't make myself like this new layout. I specifically had their recommended videos off my Youtube homepage because I wasn't interested in them, only my subscriptions. They have made it completely impossible to customize the homepage at all and I absolutely hate it. Congrats Youtube, you've driven me away.

I'm pretty open to change myself and I absolutely hate it, so I think you should go with that first option.

I just checked Youtube for any changes and they have a little popup on the bottom-right where you can submit specific feedback about the new look. I personally told them I don't care about their recommended videos so they should give an option to remove it. I also commented on how stupid it is that with my 1600x900 display size I'm limited to rows of one video from my subscriptions.
Go send your feedback now!

Almost two months later and they still haven't given me a way to change my homepage to have the old horizontal layout for subscription videos. Absolutely pathetic...
At least with Google's crappy Instant Preview feature I can run a Greasemonkey script to get rid of it. I can't find a single workaround to make Youtube's homepage layout more appealing. Ugh!

You can select the old design for you own page ... for now. But apparently Google in their infinite wisdom thinks that user choice is bad and will be FORCING you to the new design on March 7th.
