I don't want to deal with numerous bookmarks to internal pages, or site maps, or any crap like that.
I want to be able to type "haskell.org" into any browser, and from there be able to quickly get to the standard library documentation, to the language spec, to Planet Haskell, to the downloads, and so on, without having to dig through subpages of subpages of subpages, and without having to scroll.
The Rust website at http://www.rust-lang.org/ is a good example of how a programming language home page should be laid out. There are many relevant links at the top. I can almost always find what I want within the first inch or two of the page. Yet it still shows all of the marketing junk for those who want that stuff, but it's placed well below the useful content.
The new Haskell design is the complete opposite of that. It puts a lot of useless junk front and center, and almost totally discards everything that actually is useful.
