I tend to not like _ANY_ change at all, but I've learned to wait and see if I get used to it when I see something that annoys me initially, to see if the annoyance is because what it does is truly wrong or it is because what it does is merely different from what I am used to.

So I've been trying it out myself as one of the guinea pigs on this one as well.

So far, my judgement is that this is of the better kind; it is easy to get used to, and once you get used to it, it is easily ignorable.

Other people's tastes may differ, of course.
