OK, I know people have been complaining about the new YouTube layouts...and I am here to say that ACCORDING TO ME they are absolutely amazing. Editing in the main channel is easy as you can move modules around (like comments and subscribers)! The only problem about editing is the fact that when you go to modify the channel description and everything...it can be hard to try to type in a box no bigger then one inch. Another problem is, unless you look around...you may not be able to find some settings (like changing your featured video)! When you switch over...everything may seem confusing at first, but you will catch on quickly.
If you are thinking about switching over early (like me) but you don't like the "bland" layouts, I suggest visiting this website
http://www.ytlayouts.net/v2/youtube-layouts.php (http://www.ytlayouts.net/v2/youtube-layouts.php)
From there you can pick a layout from that site, OR request a layout. A word of caution though...I haven't requested a layout yet and YTLAYOUTS is still in the process of making new designs, so don't be alarmed if it takes a bit before your request is made! THE FINAL VERDICT...YouTube users are complaining about nothing and I personally accept the new layouts! Visit my YouTube channel if you want to see the new layout with a deisgn from YTLAYOUTS! Soon I may be considering requesting a Sonic and Super Sonic layout if it is not already made by that site! ;D
