> Almost anything I read that's titled as "X is being removed, and why that's a Good Thing" feels like propaganda. It's as though the article is written to convince me that it's a good thing, rather then to inform me about these new options that I would actually want. Exactly. If it was actually a good thing, they probably wouldn't have to tell you it was. It would be obvious and everyone would be happy. IMHO, most people are happy with improvements and will happily accept them. However many "improvements" are actually regressions or have significant regressive component. For instance: "Rejoice! We replaced your outdated legacy system with a re-engineered system that doesn't work and has half the features!" or "Rejoice! We've shifted some burden off of us and onto you!"
