you were just used to the old version, it happens with every upgrade to a site. you get a bunch of angry people, it's impossible to avoid. CCP just did a really bad job at making the number really low
Feel free to argue with this article (Jul 2010-Sep 2010). Unless they can pull a rabbit out of the hat, your statement is pure fluff.
Also keep in mind, WHY the AJAX freemode option exists for Digg. Good implementations will have no need for a dual-mode usage model. I won't comment on the rest as mitigating measures were placed and they ADDRESSED the issues. That stopped the bleeding.
Don't get into the mistaken presumption that people are resistant to change just because they hate change. On the contrary, change is good, provided the replacement is at least equivalent or exceeds the expectations of what they are replacing - not make life more difficult. The Digg upgrade did just that, in retrospect.
As for a bunch of angry people, the general sentiments (on EVE forum 2.0) are negative, just by looking at the amount of noise it generated across this forum and all the other forums. CCP calls it the "Forum Whine Index" (FWI). When something generates that much noise, you know it's not just a "bunch of angry people". What idiot proceeds with the implementation without addressing many of the concerns, dismissing them as ... "oh, it's impossible to avoid, there will be angry people resistant to the change". Fix it later? Sure, but it didn't even get that far and CCP's history in iterations will elicit derisional laughter from the average player.
Now here's the thing, CCP as an entertainment service provider cannot afford to **** off its userbase each and every time they change something. It's cumulative. EVE players have long memories. The better way doing things is to minimize the noise, address the issues in a timely manner (both pro-actively and post-implementation) and come to a smart compromise if necessary.
You want to know my #1 issue with the new forum? The layout and colours. It was sufficient enough to put me off. Then came the guy that created a 3rd-party Stylish layout that addressed that issue in the FIRST DAY! From there on, I was slightly miffed with the rest of the issues, but it was at least workable and I was content.

QFT, you nailed it.
