I gotta say, as much as I dislike many aspects of the new LJ comment interface, I really like the way that it flags new comments since your last visit! That is hella useful for reading purposes.
On the other hand, the things I hate about it are still legion, and the more I use it, the more I find new things to hate. For example, when you leave the comment window open too long and have to re-log in ... you can't. It just errors out. You have to reload the whole page to post your comment, as opposed to the old comment interface which would return an error once and then you could hit "post" and it would go ahead and do it.
Also, when you post a comment, it doesn't refresh the page to show you any new ones that have been added since you started typing. It just displays your comment along with the others. There could be new comments there, for all you know! But you have to reload the page to see them! I think the reason why this annoys me so badly is because it used to refresh automatically, and it still looks like it's done it (showing you all the comments that were already there, plus your new one) ... except it hasn't. PFFFFFT.
(For all I know, either/both of these issues could be lack of support for older versions of Safari and Firefox, but, well, older versions of Safari and Firefox are what I USE, and the old LJ comment interface works just fine in them, SO.)

I think it's refreshing for me when I post a comment, though? I will have to keep an eye on that. I don't comment that much on LJ anymore, and often the posts I'm commenting on are not that busy that there will be new comments just since I started typing, so it's hard to tell.

HAHAHAHA the one useful thing about it, and it can't even do it right? SIGH.
On the refreshing thing, it's possible that it sometimes reloads and sometimes doesn't. I have definitely noticed it and someone on the LJ side said they had noticed it as well, but I have no idea if it does it every time or not. (I tend to notice it because I write long comments, so it'll often take awhile. XD)
