It’s a lot better now.
There is also one major difference, the ‘Open a case’ button has disappeared from the top navigation bar and is instead dropped into a ‘Get Support’ tab at the bottom of the page.

In turn, this drives more people to the community. Sometimes tiny tweaks like these can have a bigger impact than you imagine.
