Or, maybe, have better visual design with clear starting points and
calls-to-action...

I'm sure users have expectations based on emerging conventions, but
it's rare users won't quickly learn a new interface if it's useful.

Not to say I don't agree with the conclusions they drew (community,
people, editors), but I think the refined focus saved the day, not
mirroring blog design.
