Both the profile and the dashboard now show less information than they used to. The icons are a nice touch but totally irrelevant, and are not effective on a quick glance.
Meanwhile, the streams constantly show redundant information: e.g. 10 successive commits+push or wiki edits on the same project (happens all the time in my feeds) consume 10 distinct rows - why not collapse them together?
The launch bar was actually a cool idea, but it's more of a hack than a useful tool. And pray tell me what good does the /launch page do? Why should I ever use it as a landing page?
And don't get me started on the push performance, which is abysmal and feels like it has constantly been degrading over time.
I'll say it again, I <3 github, and they're a truly awesome team. But for the past several months every single change they've made was a big "wow, new X, let's take a look" followed by a sad, soft "meh".
There is definitely less information visible on the Dashboard page than before. The idea of collapsing similar items together would actually add some value, instead of just adding more whitespace and changing the icons.
They don't address your stream comment, but one of my gripes is not being able to see repo counts when filtering, or having the option to fill in "repo descriptions" for older projects.
EDIT: I like the re-design and the fact Github is constantly evolving
