Consider this entry in the thread list:

User's image

When I go to that question, there are five pages of answers. Stefan's comment does not appear to be on the last page, and there's no way I'm going to wade through five pages of answers and comments looking for it. This was not a problem with Answers: all threads were strictly chronological, and there was always a link to the most recent post. Theoretically, Q&A allows users to reply to a specific answer with a comment, but few users really understand this, and when they reply to comments, long strings of comments are also created, making navigation much more difficult. Having a direct link to the most recent post would alleviate this at least a little.
