With the new template we hope to attract new users. The main focus was to develop something very neutral, which does not stand in the way between the researcher and the respondent. It was also developed for a mobile first perspective: it should be usable on smaller screens.
We also want to focus on the upcoming version 2.5 of Limesurvey, where (on our request) the possibility of adding CSS classes to questions is built in. Using these added classes we can influence the appearance of question on a detailed level. Some ideas we have:
Provide color classes to questions, so the background of the question or the question-text can be shown in other colors
Provide classes that influence the behaviour of arrays when shown on small screens
Provide classes that influence the appearance of YES/NO questions: default would be "neutral", showing "Yes" or "No" in the same way. "positive" would show all "Yes" answers in green and all "No" answers in red. "negative" would turn this behaviour, so "No" answers would be green and "Yes" answers red.
We ask you:
What are your first impressions?
What you you definitively want to see changed?
What do you like about the template?
Do you have ideas what classes, when added to questions, could help you in developing good surveys?
Greetings and thank you in advance for your review.

Yes it's a great template and it's somehow hard to find something wrong in it.
Maybe 2 possible enhancements:
1) With a mobile phone and due to the length of the demo survey, a fixed-position link to go straight up the top of the page will be welcome.
2) About your question related to new classes idea... I suggest a kind of "neutral" class removing borders and matching the main background color. The purpose is to create switchers more or less like the language select box. Useful for example if you have to manage differents units (SI/US) or to propose a long or short version of a same survey
