Ask HN: Any examples of product redesigns that worked?

This is in context of reddit redesign and how everyone (everyone here at least) hates it. Personally I hate how Microsoft has been ruining windows itself and lots of other actually goose software with unnecessary redesigns (Macification basically) which ends up removing features. I have never used Digg but heard about it's redesign too. So many websites which use to be fast and accessible have been turned into a redesigned modern mess. c2.wiki and imdb and lots of blogs that turned into a single page, slow loading mess. I don't believe it's just aesthetic usability effect, there has to be some examples and metrics which prove this redesign to be actually useful for products. What are they? What websites are currently in need of a similar redesign such that if they fail in next few years we can all agree that its design caused it?
