Sorry, was just attempting a joke.

I completely agree with that, but you've got to break a few eggs to make 
an omelet.

I think for a chunk of the people who currently dislike it, living with 
it for a few posts will grow to like it.

Others may never take to it, but that's okay, WP has always done what it 
considers best in core, avoided unnecessary options, and allowed people 
with differing opinions about how things should work to express that 
through plugins. We also watch usage of plugins closely, and might 
change the direction of the software based on something with grassroots 
popularity, in fact many of the major features in WP the past few years 
have been a result of this.
