I'm sure Google can tell how many are using the new interface and, and even who's not. I would have thought that would be a good indicator of the who wants it an who doesn't.

Yep, and count me among those who wish they'd keep the old version around.

HOWEVER, to be fair - as someone who has worked with releasing multiple versions of software before - it's a major PITA, because if you don't *force* people to upgrade at some point, some percentage of them never will, and then you have to keep resources around forever in order to support it. And sometimes that's just not feasible.

So I can kind of see Google's side of it.
