OK,that is a judicious decision that add an option which can switch between the old and new controls.But i still feel a bit despirted when i see you say the new controls will be ported to mineimator.
Why me and some other people don't like the new controls?Not we are too lazy to adapt the new,but it's more difficult to use than is used to be even if we adapt it.
Read some of the responses above,i have a general idea of what you want to do with this change.I consider every change of the MI or MB should be to let everybody use better,not to make the software look more high-end.Making it more high-end is good, but it shouldn't be built on more difficulty to use of the MI or MB.Don't attend to trifles and neglect the essentials .
As a 5 years MI user and a long-time MB user.I am very worried when I see that my favorite software is going further and further down the wrong path.I respect all decisions made by the production team.But I also have a duty to warn production team when I see something is wrong as a old user whose will continue to use in the futrue.
