This reminds me of an xkcd comic: every change breaks someone's workflow. It would have been a good idea to include an opt out feature, though.

- colmvp 13y agoEh. Having to create new features that also support the old design is a pain the ass.
- sosborn 13y ago>It would have been a good idea to include an opt out feature, though How far do you carry that opt out? Three versions down the line do you end up having to select one out of four versions? Who is going to maintain that?
- derefr 13y agoExactly. These people don't realize that "try it" really means "switch ahead of the time when we force everyone else to switch." There's no opt-out because everyone is going to be switched sooner or later, whether they like it or not.
- yuhong 13y agoIt is still useful when the new version have problems. It took some time before Google finally removed the old Google Groups, and they made it easy to switch back and forth during the meantime.
- plorkyeran 13y agoAnd currently you have the new Google Maps that's mostly useless, and it's fairly easy to switch back and forth between it and the old version.
- PeterisP 13y agoWell, if they mean "switch ahead of time", then they'd better say so - instead, if they are saying "try it", then there is a misleading implication "choose which one you prefer" which in this case apparantly is lying to the users.
