| Mar 26, 2014 at 21:21 | comment | added | Andrew Leach | @AaronLS It's not just #3. They did #1; didn't do #2; did #3 for a month or so; #4 didn't really apply; provided #5 but didn;t follow through with #6. Unfortunately, #2 and #6 are actually rather important. [And I no longer use GMail in earnest, but that's by-the-by.] | |
| Mar 26, 2014 at 20:02 | comment | added | AaronLS | @AndrewLeach Funny #3 reminded me of gmail, as in many cases they've prompted me to enable/switch on new features and views. Just as #3 implies, eventually the old is removed though, as it is difficult to maintain both. | |

| Mar 25, 2014 at 18:43 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | "It’s now cleaner to save you time". That's a dangerous game. Many's the time I've been told that e.g. showing me less information is "cleaner", less numerous are the times cleanliness has helped me as an existing user. If you want to tip just over the boundary into infuriating then say, "for your comfort and convenience" ;-) Of course ultimately only you can decide how much you care if the fraction of users who don't perform more quickly with the new cleaner interface, merely hates you (for changing it) vs. despising you (for claiming they're better off). You can't win 'em all. | |

But I'm ticking this as answer because it gives concrete, attributable steps for people in my situation to take for future reference. | |
