I am always encouraged by consistent changes by the development team. A few weeks ago the mantra was "they dont care about steemit, only about SMTs". Well, the last few updates show that is untrue. While none of the changes appear earthshattering, they are improvements to the site. Some might take exception with the color scheme, well that is their right. However, the developers made those changes for a reason which is to differentiate steemit from steem. That is a big step in my opinion.
