  >Whenever things change, some proportion of the userbase pushes back and wants to just keep things like they are. I think it's remarkable that Wordpress is not forcing the users' hand on this. I think developers handwave away the users' desire to keep things as they are much too often, often tactlessly referring to their user-UI symbiosis as "old" or "legacy". I think user choice and stability of UI is vastly underrated today and is only beginning to emerge as a property to optimize for. We're going to see more developers catering to the crowd who just wants to keep their current working version, because it takes about 10-20 years of computer use to become the grouch with Upgrade PTSD, and we're beginning to reach critical mass on it.
