The toolbar needs some reworking for maximum usability (someone recently 
posted some suggestions for that in wikitech-l), but by and large I find 
that my eyes are seared out by the ugliness of the old interface when I 
visit Wikipedia from a computer where I'm not logged in with CB selected.

Those who prefer to sleep on cold stone floors, eat naught but cold 
oatmeal, and spend two hours each morning flagellating themselves to 
expiate the sins of their fellow Wikipedians are free to select the 
classic skin.

Meanwhile, those of us who prefer that the site not scare away potential 
contributors on their first visit by presenting only its bath-avoiding, 
flea-infested, rib-protruding side, will continue to lobby for making CB 
the default look.
