Easy and very pretty, thanks for putting this together.
It is interesting to consider how some of these communities likely benefit from leaving their styles the same for a long time. Many of the biggest update very rarely: reddit, 4chan, etc... The familiarity to old users, simplicity and speed of an older design, and the added walling-of-the-garden that probably helps keep content quality up.
Interesting indeed. I was just thinking about this the other day before deciding on putting together the userstyle. I was wondering weather the current HN backend is as fast as it can be, I'm sure there are dozens of developers that would like to rewrite it for free.

Yeah... it's too bad Y-Combinator doesn't seem to trust the hacker community enough to risk open sourcing their code and taking public pull requests. Can't risk having people see the algorithms and whatnot.
Heaven knows the "dozens" of Arc programmers out there probably don't have much else to do...
I don't think you have enough karma to vote on user posts. But this happens to voting on posts: http://i.imgur.com/NtcgQVf.png
I fixed it by adding margin-bottom:10px to .votearrow
On thread pages the .athing .rank still shows up which kind of looks bad (eg: http://i.imgur.com/EsQzNE3.png ) I'm trying to find a way to fix it without specifying new CSS for /item? URL.
I like a lot of what you did. Merged it with my current CSS. :)
Thanks for the heads up, wasn't even aware I'm missing elements due to the low karma.
Getting the styling done right here, is not that easy, as you can imagine the oldschool HTML doesn't really help. I was trying not to do multiple scopes for different pages in Stylish, but seems like I have to do CSS scoping to get rid of that .rank

Oh, I know. I've had HN entirely restyled since day 1. :) A bunch of nasty selectors with direct child, nth-child selectors, and attribute-selectors.
It annoys me that Stylish doesn't seem to support the :not() selector. I can use it in the inspector in Chrome but not in Stylish.
My personal favorite change was making the search more easily accessible by fixing it to the bottom right.
I forked your repo to quickly make dark version of it: https://github.com/Gigacore/hackernews-userstyles
Can you also add a Open Source license? I would suggest MIT.
