I much prefer Michael's "Clean" 1.0 .  It's, well, *cleaner*, crisp, 
more modern; the header wastes less space,  logo is not the routine, 
semi-realistic Ruby gem.  The Clean logo scales well,  and lends itself 
better to T-shirts, business cards, and other re-use.

The information on the page is also more focused on practical usage. 
For example, there is no need to publish recent blog headlines; better 
to have a link to a list of blogs and use the saved space more 
effectively (as Michael has done).


Overall,  the Clean design does more with a better use of space.   Like 
Ruby itself.

(On a side note, I can see possible problems with encouraging discussion 
here, and on ruby-talk, and as well as in blog comments.  There are 
likely to be duplicate discussions, with people missing good points 
unless they are actively following all sources.)
