It's awesome how you can comment on pretty much everything. Before, you could only really do this for posted items and notes. Now you can comment on added friends, statuses (this is a HUGE plus), things you do, etc. I only wish it also let you comment on another person's wall post... Side: Pros
It is organized better. This is probably the point a lot of people will disagree with me about. I guess it has a lot to do with personal preference. For me, I think the way they made it easy to edit your profile/wall settings while on the same page makes a lot of sense. Side: Pros
Applications are easier to manage. Now all your applications can be viewed in one nice, neat little list with stars next to them if they're bookmarked, etc. And you can mass-edit permissions. I'm not so sure why they moved the applications tab to the bottom left, though. It was fine on the upper bar. Side: Pros

It doesn't work on the iPhone!!! I used to go onto the regular Facebook on my iPhone to do stuff like editing picture tags that you couldn't do on the mobile version. This new facebook uses a icky combo of lots of AJAX, JavaScript, and Flash. Which looks good on a computer but totally kills my poor iphone browser. Side: Cons
It's hard to jump quickly to old wall posts. Now instead of clicking "page 5" or something, you have to click "view more"..."view more"..."view more"... 5 times. I don't usually go back that far, but sometimes it's a nice thing to have. Plus you can keep your orientation a lot better. Side: Cons
