My first thought after upgrading to WordPress 2.5 is “brilliant” the new look is amazing, clean, clear and very user friendly. Although things are a bit different looking in the admin area, it takes but only a moment to get familiar with the new interface. This new design is much easier on the eyes; which is a big deal when you are constantly blogging. At a first glance I must say this new version was well worth the wait. The WordPress dev team have done a wonderful job on appearance and organization.

I will continue my evaluation of the new WordPress 2.5 and report my findings over the next few days.

Thus far: Great job guys.
