I suppose I'm not young any more, but I'm not all that old (late 30's). I tend to agree with you. Whether one likes or dislikes the changes, it makes investing in writing documentation (or recording training videos, which is even more expensive) impractical. This in turn makes the half-life of knowledge investments on the part of users shorter (independent of the age of the learner). I don't think it's just you. Well-defined UIs can help by making discoverability of features simpler, but more often than not, but I'm not convinced the industry understands the difference between "the UI is easy to navigate and discover" and "the UI has soft colors and rounded corners on everything."
