I consider this to be an improvement - As it's laid out currently, the USB and JST connectors are very close to each other, and I found the USB and JST connectors to get in eachother's way when trying to use both at once (though the cables I was using do have chunkier connectors than most). It looks like this gives us a wee bit more space between them, and also, by putting it near the edge, you can use a right angle USB connector to get the USB cable out of the way without blocking anything. I don't see any drawbacks to the new layout.
What, if any, other changes are planned in the new Espruino revision?
