Much nicer--for a while there it seemed like they were headed for 2005 with the typeface, gradients, and other visual elements.
To be more precise, on macOS it's using system fonts (`-apple-system` - not necessarily San Francisco if set otherwise or on older versions of the OS).
Tahoma still looks more natural to me inside applications, while Segoe UI looks better to me in the OS itself.
They could be A/B testing this. I'm still served Helvetica.
I like it in the readme because it looks cleaner and more readable but for some reason I don't like it anywhere else (file names, etc.). I'm on a Mac.
My work machine (Ubuntu 14.04.4) now shows Ubuntu, which is a little less jarring when looking at different places on screen (I use Ubuntu Mono in the terminal), and my home laptop (Fedora 23) now uses Arimo (since I have ChromeOS fonts configured). Nice touch.
No, Sir, I do not like it.
Which font depends on whether you're logged in (which is weird).

Why not use the default browser font?

In any case, an unwelcomed change for me.
