I disagree (respectfully), as I especially did not like the usage of 
collapsing navigation menus. It makes me have to click and then click 
again just to get to what I want to do. (FWIW, I have many menu 
functions that I will never use removed on mine via "display: none;" 
additions on my vector.css file.) Another gripe is that they shrunk the 
search box even smaller, which really makes looking for a page 
problematic. On nearly all computers and with how vector is set up to 
operate, the width of the search box could easily be doubled.

Other than those recent changes, both which came within the past 36 
hours IIRC, I like vector as a whole. Looks more modern and crisp than 
monobook.
