For me, the category filters alone are a killer feature over the old PyPI. I think it's also a plus to the Python community overall that PyPI not look to newcomers like something that was designed in the 90s and then abandoned. I agree with Steven about the unnecessary boxes around every single package, though. The presentation of the list of packages could be *much* denser while keeping the same readability, which would also make the page more usable by reducing the amount of scrolling needed. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
