You shouldn't, but I address why you shouldn't whine either in my comment. I'm sure LW will let you know if a poll of the peanut gallery is required.

This is needlessly insulting. And I'll have you know I haven't "whined" at all. My only comment was a reply to your comment in which you "whined" about people expressing negative opinions. Well, from what I see, there are mostly positive opinions, and praise, and karma for people who approve. You yourself got upvoted to 15 in the great-grandparent, for example.

Oh my God this is so stereotypical.

Just be glad I told you.

I find it very frustrating that I've seen dozens of posts expressing dislike or annoyance at TrikeApps' work, which I'm pretty sure they provided at no cost by the way, and yet I've seen no expressions of thank

I genuinely don't like the new design, and prefer the old one. Why should I express gratitude if I don't feel any? From my perspective, they've put in all their hard work messing up/taking away something I liked just fine.

I don't even know what it is that's supposed to have been "improved". I don't notice any convenient new features. Maybe they're there, but I haven't come across them. All I notice are visual differences such as icons instead of text (where I strongly preferred text), and various bugs. This just looks to me like one of those periodic aesthetically-motivated "revampings" done by people with different aesthetics from mine who undervalue constancy relative to "change" -- like TV shows changing perfectly good theme music for no other reason than they've "had it for a while".

I acknowledge that there were problems before, and that this redesign could have been even worse. But I don't see the need for a new visual look at all -- why not just fix the bugs, and leave the basic appearance alone?

I dislike it enough that I probably won't be participating much anymore. (Needless to say, the account under which this comment is being posted is not the one I usually post under.)
