I'm looking forward to Windows 10. I stayed with Windows 7 until Windows 8.1 was out and working and then I switched and didn't regret it. I do realize there are some for whom new is a nasty word.
New isn't a nasty word, I for one am quite sanguine about all kinds of new.

Unintuitive design principles are a nasty word/phrase though.

I went through similar horror when Ubuntu "evolved" towards Unity, a Mac interface clone with all the attendant inflexibility. I think there's a recent trend for designers to ruin their products in an ill-designed attempt to appeal to the latest, um, something.

New is not fundamentally better -- the two concepts are orthogonal.
