I think it's a decent start to bridging the gap between the very outdated Reddit interface (which is clearly superior to the newer interface) and modern design. I don't feel that's a mobile design blown up to desktop size.
Here's my own comparison, in which we're clearly a whole lot closer to the old Reddit interface than the newer one: https://i.imgur.com/94Gd47Y.png
It's true that the recent separation of the sorting bar (hot/new/etc) from the top navbar has made our interface feel a lot more like the newer Reddit interface, and that's regrettable, but also necessary.
Why are you bridging to "modern" design at all? Who is asking for this? What percentage of .Wins are on Mobile?. The new interface has made my phone unusable for wins.
Beyond the limited page width, there aren't too many similarities to Reddit's new interface. We don't auto-expand content by default, for example.
You can set the page back to full-width from the profile menu in the top right.
