Update (as of July 11th): The launch date for the new channels has been postponed (to an unknown date):

Is YouTube ready for the new channel designs?

Guess not... Not only are so many people against it, but it still is far from working right.

If you don't think YouTube should force the new design onto everyone on July 15th, you don't have much time to speak out. When you have HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people against something, threatening to leave, etc...

My solution: a 'hybrid' of the two designs... the look of the current design, with the customization features of the new one. I'd like that.

Also, the beta design is being used on Groups now. I couldn't even tell the difference between the Groups and a Channel at first...

(Presented in NORMAL STANDARD Quality! WTF LOL)

Oh yeah, forgot the feedback blog (the one specifically for the beta channel, not the YouTube blog...):

(Irony: My channel is linked on that blog as one of the "favorite new channel designs" :P )

Also, someone created a 'petition' of sorts against the switch on the Community Help Forums, if you are interested:
