Always good to hear from you Andy.
On a serious note though, you are quite incorrect regarding the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two. Admittedly, to many users it might appear like there isn't much in the way of new features, and the inconvenience of having to get used to a new navigation structure and find the stuff they used to be able to find easily on the old website can't be much fun. However, as Andy Burnett said, we didn't take the decision to create a new website on a whim.
What you don't realise is that the new website actually does do a lot more things than the old website did from a technical point of view. The integration of a content management system into the whole website has been long overdue, and will make the job of everyone who writes content or modifies pages on the website easier (once they get used to using it). It's also a lot more secure.
If you are struggling to use the new site or can't find what you're looking for, please do share your concerns here. Posting specifics helps.
