And people these days always feel change is necessary. Sort of like people these days feel the need to invalidate other’s opinions, as if to suggest they are easily offended by another’s post to which it isn’t even directed. I’m all for your opinion to an opinion, but makes you no more right or wrong than the OP.
You’re right about one thing though, they paid for software “as is” as in, the way it behaved and functioned at the time of purchase, with the hopes it would not deviate, functionally, much if at all. They paid for their right to opinion and voice. Don’t like it? Move TF along. It’s quite simple really.
This isn’t the first time they’ve obfuscated the UI. I still use Plex Classic on Roku, it is what keeps me a customer. The moment it ceases working, I’d just much rather go back to use an old XBMC on a HTPC, then simply tell family (or friends) they’re assed out. Of course, it is via that very action that Plex has received additional paying customers (i.e. customer acquisition). It would behoove Plex to stop fixing what isn’t broken and begin fixing what is.
And BTW, those elements of yours were re-arranged to the outside of the toaster. Enjoy your dry crouton bread buddy.
You would be hard pressed to find ANY software written that has not changed in some way during the course of it’s life. If you find one that hasn’t, just wait. There will always be detractors and supporters in any case.
Buying a piece of software does not confer on the user the rights to now determine the business course of the company. You purchase it as is, if you don’t like it do not use it. If you do want to influence the course of the company, buy the company, or buy shares in the company.
