I don't understand the scrolling complaint, if you read each post the old way, you zoomed in, and scrolled the same way you did now. Personally I think this change is a big improvement on the old way, it's not perfect but with a few changes it could be great. And with time it feels like we won't be able to imagine how we were happy with the previous version.
A couple features I miss - user like count, and a permalink to each post. I like the permalink because if I refresh and there's new posts, I don't lose my spot.
