It has nothing to do with what's "new," but that what is new is of lower
functionality
and configurability than that which was replaced. It is never a good
thing to remove
them.....period! For example, take a good long look at the new KDE for
an example
of all the graphic "goodies" many want yet with the configurability and
functionality
that is mandated by more than a casual user who only reads email and web
pages.
