** Also, commenting via Twitter or Facebook.
** And now there's the new redesign of the commenting system, removing subject lines and changing the way icons work so they'll only show up if there's one keyword. The subject line thing in particular has really [[Unfortunate Implications]], as they're often used to denote triggering material in a comment.
* WhileIn Poser'sthe newrealm editionsof tendintroductory-level to3D-image becreation metsoftware with mostly positive community reactions(Poser, Poser's cousin DAZDaz Studio, <s>(whichBlender iswhen essentiallynot abeing freewareused stripped-downfor versioncontent thatcreation, usesetc.) theDAZ same content)</s>Studio tends to explode whenever a new version is released. DAZ Studio 4 sent angry ripples across the community when it first became available both for stability issues and a very different content layout. The poster child feature of the release (a system to re-fit clothing and props between characters of different sizes and genders) was locked away at a price of almost US$100 (half for loyalty program members).
** Many Web communities, such as ShareCG, also host 'model loyalty'. When previous primary base figures Victoria 3 and Michael 3 were re-released as Victoria 4 and Michael 4, many Poser and DS fans became enraged because the new models didn't fit into the old V3/M3 clothing, hair and props. Since a longtime Poser/DS artist might have hundreds of dollars of content for the previous 'main' models, these users often rage at the new content and stick to their old kits. Fear of this was palatable when Smith MicroDAZ3D announced Genesis: a single, androgynous model for DAZ Studio 4 to replace all past models. This was less severe when SMDAZ3D announced that Genesis would be backward-compatible with previous versionversions' clothing.
* [[Deviant ARTDeviantArt]] receives a giant influx of complaints annually every time a new version of the site is launched, most recently with its 7th iteration. So far, over 3,000 deviants have "rejected" this news. Made even more ridiculous by the fact that version 7 brings very little changes compared to the switch from 5 to 6. Yet people seem to flip out more than back then.
** To be fair, the main complaint seemed to be that the "search" bar had been removed for some reason. It has been returned to us, and the complaining has, for the most part, stopped.
* Retro Junk recently had its layout changed, and some sections are gone. It doesn't even look like the site that members knew and loved.
Line 23:
* Often invoked by fans of evolving items on the avatar and forum site [[Gaia Online]] - despite the fact that the entire point of the EIs is that they undergo dramatic changes every few weeks.
* [http://www.flickr.com/ Flickr] recently updated its photo-viewing layout, design and controls. Again, complaints aplenty.
* Windows XP's revised Start menu--which was optimized for navigation by mouse and functioned quite differently to previous incarnations--forced users to [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!|relearn everything they'd been doing instinctively for the lastprevious half-decade]], which must have rather offset any theoretical gain in productivity. However, XP/Vista users can revert back to NT4/2000/Win9x style. This criticism has died down as of late, not least because XP is nine{{age|2001|8|24}} years old now.
** Their next OS, Windows Vista, was a radical change from XP, but despite its many improvements and new features and the time since its release, allowing hardware to be able to support it comfortably and users to adjust to it, people still reject Windows Vista with very little or no reason. Hell, so many businesses still use XP that its support life is going to be ''at least'' 13 years (2001-2014).
** These same fans praise Windows 7 as "Vista done right", even though it continues using many of the features and changes Vista introduced, but doesn't change as much about the operating system than Vista did.

* When Image-Line removed pattern blocks in FL Studio 10, the user base wasn't exactly pleased.
