Of the good: Reduce animations is awesome, and for the most part, the layout is much more intuitively ordered.
Other thoughts:
* Too much white space, nothing draws my eye to the posting box as the centre of the page. I wonder if others find the page so cluttered because the entry box is not the biggest thing on the page by a large enough margin. It should dominate the page, and it doesn't.
* +1 on the switch post and delete. That's a hell of a mouse swoop to get to the post button.
* I find the Post as: and Post to: horribly confusing and frustrating with that bait and switch behaviour of the two areas occupying the same space. If I'm logged in under my sock account (like I am right now) and I want to post to a community from my main account, it looks like I have to choose the community in the to area first even though it's below the as area where I switch accounts which I have to do second. Um--arrrgh!!! is how that made me feel.
* I would toss the Security and Access over to the sidebar, make the Entry box longer and keep the Publishing under it. If you never ever change security and access, collapsing them doesn't give you any space that makes the page look less cluttered. It feels like a placebo collapse button.
* I honestly don't find the tag bubbles useful at all if I can't edit them. I really prefer the delicious autocomplete (with the usage count in the list) to any other tag system out there. Getting to the little x to delete these is precision mousing (which I suck at), but getting them highlighted and using the delete key doesn't work, which is not expected behaviour for a list of words. They're overdesigned in my opinion.
Oh, and please, please tell me that hitting enter while in the subject line will not post the entry.
no subject
