Has Facebook's new layout changed how you use it regularly?

I have pretty much abandoned the news feed (except to check for birthdays and the friend finder.

I now go to the Friends page and read all my friends’ updates there every day. If I want to comment or like a status, I’ll open their page in tabs.

Do you have any new habits with the new Facebook layout? How do you deal with the massive news feed now? I guess that question is geared for people with more than, say, 100 friends.
