My 2 cents on the whine-tasting....
 "Myrmidon will do BS damage!" - Baloney. You're probably thinking of a Myrmidon setup with 5 heavies compared to a dominix. A Myrmidon with 5 heavies is dumb, if he attacks you shoot his drones and you'll win. Even if somehow he manages to keep his drones alive by sucking them in repeatedly he shouldn't do nearly the damage of a good Dominix build. Dominix's get LARGE GUNS and bonus'. A blasterdomi can do insane DPS while running a tank as well. Myrmidon is great for PvE with 5 heavies, otherwise should run in gangs with smaller drones.
"Amarr got the shaft" - Kind of. After the changes recently I don't think anybody but Caldari got unbalancing boosts from the new ship designs. Amarr have had a few issues for a while but you gotta love their tanks. Some of the mid-range builds are still a lot better than dreaded Gallente short-range blaster builds though. The tank also lets you grind the opponent very effectively. Maybe that's Tux's favorite method :)
"Hyperion sucks" - I can't argue with this one. Unless the agility/mass/speed gets upgraded to truly spectacular I will probably only fly this for random giggles. Costs a lot more than a Megathron and, while different, is not really better or distinctive. Being a dev must be hard... I guess they couldn't really think of anything cool for a third Gallente category. I think the Sensor damp BS idea some have mentioned is cool, but could be overpowered.
"Drake got too nerfed." - We all know this is silly. The Drake was a total freaking monster before. It kinda still is with good skills, although not more than the Brutix so I guess that's okay. It's not the total PWN anymore but some builds are still darned scary. Try putting some Inertial stabs in the lows and orbiting your target really fast, turrets can't hit you at all while your missiles still never miss, call it the mega-crow.  Some creative Drake builds are still terrifying and have no obvious counter.
I have put my Thanksgiving turkey on my computer so please commence flaming me, I want it well done.
