Whether it looks better or not doesn't really matter... the overall "appearance" is fine either way. There are two other reasons (in my opinion) why it should be changed back how it was before:
1. The thread title is most important to us scanning that page. The way this is now, that title is scrunched up into a tiny little column and it wraps around once or twice just to make room for the original poster's column. Who cares about the poster's name? The thread title should be more prominent and more readable to skim across.
2. The new arrangement confuses people glancing around quickly. We see a name and first imagine that it is the person who posted last, even though we "know" it's not. It's just confusing like this.
I really don't like it this way.
