In reply to Karen.

Agreed! The new plugins page is a bit more pretty (if you consider a bunch of generic colored squares prettier... or maybe hope to a future with proper logos and such), but it's far less useful to anyone adding plugins to their site. That said, if they were to add back in a few more bits of info (version number, # of users, etc.), would that fix the problem? (The only downside then, I guess would be just the space taken up by the new format.)
