I'll admit that I am puzzled about this. The big new thing about 2.5  
is the new user interface - yet with all the great feedback on the  
serious shortcomings of the new interface I see very little response  
that makes me comfortable that these issues will be addressed prior to  
the release.

Open Source is all about community - ignoring your community is rarely  
a smart move. And adding all kinds of usability traps is going to come  
back and bite you.

Just my 2¢
