The command-N change made it more consistent with most applications where “new” creates a window of some kind.
Besides, in the Keyboard section of System Preferences, you can remap any menu command to any key sequence that you want. (It is unfortunate that these mappings are as buried as they are.)
Another thing that made me mad in the past was when they switched New Folder from being Command-N to Command-Shift-N during the transition from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. Nowadays I tend to just make new folders in the terminal with mkdir.
