Love this approach of carefully dissecting an existing site’s design for usability issues. Like a few other people in the comments, there are some business-requirement issues I disagreed with you on for the realignment, but overall, I think your redesign would be a welcome change to Smashing Mag. Just pointing out a lot of those little usability issues will probably help them out a lot (if they’ve ever looks at this…), even if they would never actually adopt the full redesign.
