I get the impression that attitudes are starting to shift back to anticipation, but I suspect that many people are still leery due to the disruptive changes brought by KDE 4, Gnome 3, and Python 3 (to name three projects that immediately come to my mind). Of course, those weren't the only products affected and open source software wasn't the only thing affected. The years around 2010 felt a bit like the early 1990's, with the distinct difference that disruptive change in the early 1990's brought with it quality of life improvements that were more often well received. Now that software is starting to mature again (at least in my mind, and at least with open source projects), changes are more welcome. Watching updates is more interesting because the bullet points look interesting from a utility standpoint rather than a drama standpoint.
