I enjoy the new design. Like you said, it's a bit buggy and that's been irritating, but I like the direction they're going in, even if the implementation hasn't been perfect in the early stages.
There are a few little things that I don't like, especially the fact that it takes more clicks/time to access the Recently Added Friends page, as there used to be a link to it in the Friends pull-down. But the combination of the Mini-Feed and Wall was a great idea, especially as Facebook attempts to compete with FriendFeed.
