How are you guys handling the new (awful) redesign?

I'm so so pissed by the redesign Gumroad made, that I've also started searching for alternatives.

What I like the most at Gumroad in one sentence:

• in provided the holy trio: landing page + email marketing + payment (at a fair price)

with the new redesign, the first two are almost eliminated ... the landing page looks boring, and the emails are AWFUL, I mean horrible ... it might work for them, but this is the first time I'm seeing a company forcing their community to adhere to the same brand guidelines without any design customization

I would happily pay to remove that awful CSS and their logo, just to have a simple gmail-indie-maker-text like design.

I've read many complaints about this, what solutions/alternatives have you guys found?
