I think some people in this thread are being a bit eager about change-for-its-own-sake. But change isn't in itself progress, it isn't in itself betterment. It might as well be a distraction or a regression.
I see a reason to celebrate novel concepts and technologies, and incremental improvements. I don't see a reason to celebrate yet another technology with 90% of the power of the previous technology, only 50% of the problems of the previous tech, but with a whole slew of problems that that other technology from 7 years ago brought up and that the previous technology fixed. And with a packaging that is similar enough to not be challenging, yet different enough to have to make a concentrated, droning effort in order to iron out any misunderstandings or surprising behaviour.
