I was expecting you to end with "and don't squander the amazing track record of developer goodwill you have accumulated by forcing the stupid-ass 'New UI' on us, or telling us that we're committing code wrong, or somehow suddenly trying to go 'All AI' or whatever"
I'll be straight: for me personally there is no replacement, and I'll just patch the "unsupported" Commit Like a Sane Person plugin[1] indefinitely if I have to, but ... come on, don't strain our relationship like that
Of your three possible critical endings, the only one that affects me, even a little, is the new UI, but then I tend not to care too much about UIs. I appreciate a good UI, will give up on a product with an unintuitive UI (looking at you, Eclipse), but otherwise I just don't care. I immediately liked the new look. It took me a day or so to get used to it, and now I find it completely comfortable.
