So basically Twitter profile page will become just like Facebook profile page. I don't see the appeal, but it won't change many thing anyway for most people who use Twitter clients rather than the website directly (I use TweetDeck for instance).
Damn I must be getting older... I tend to hate every redesign that appears and this one is no exception.
Twitter was about being short, fast and to the point. That's why it worked so well to make people get in touch.
If you but the new layout side to side with the old one you can clear see how it influences you to spend more time with each tweet. It feels like the tweets got more content. More like a blog post or a facebook status. Nothing like Twitter.

Not sure what goal this accomplishes for Twitter - maybe it ups engagement slightly?
One thing I think companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter need to realise though is that we aren't all pro photographers. These big cover photos they want us to upload can look great but for most of us finding a good image that also meets their size requirements is difficult. One of the profiles they're promoting as having the new layout is @JohnLegend[1]. Twitter are promoting it, he has over 5 million followers, he has a 'pinned tweet' so he or his team are already clearly using the new layout and the cover image looks awful.
