> From a fundamentals perspective I'm honestly pretty surprised by the visceral instant rejection, without having seen anything about the actual implementation, by crowds at HN, Ars, etc. Every time anything changes, there is a rather predicable response of this kind. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when laptop manufacturers stopped making models with 4:3 screens, when smartphone manufacturers abandoned physical keyboards, when Apple abandoned any type of drive or connector port ever... It's always enjoyable to come back to such threads and read the dire predictions of the naysayers after a few years, i.e. the one where the naysayers predicted that Apple would be doomed because the iPhone 5 was too small, and the one where the naysayers predicted that Apple would be doomed because the iPhone 6 was too big.
