The left gutter margin in the NYTimes redesign really bothers me. What's it for? The top sections and bar sometimes splat across it. It's almost the same width as a scrollbar. I don't know another site that draws a left-only edge that way.
Modernity is a selling point for us, not a weakness. We need to modernize to keep us out of that awkward spot that brands, buildings and hobbies fall into where you are no longer new and fashionable, but are not yet a 100 year old tradition.
