Looking at the new Google Reader (actually, I've been looking at it for about a week or two), I've come to realize what it is that I don't like about the new Google look.
I think it's that Google, being rich as sin, must buy all their developers giant new monitors, monitors that are so giant that the fact that there is enough white space on the page that you could fit the entire works of Shakespeare in it doesn't bother them. For the rest of us, the crushing post-modern blankness means that the only actual information on the page has to fit into a space that is increasingly tighter and tighter, making it more and more difficult to read. Because some of us still use things like Google Reader for, well, you know, reading.
The problem with the Googleplex seems to be that the more time you spend there, the less likely you are to remember that your products are used by people outside of the bubble...
