There's a certain class of people for whom any change to something they are familiar with is automatically negative. I imagine that in 20 years, they'll be the market for phones with a physical dialer.

Haha, your argument is of a rare breed: it's self-negating. If the people belonging to your "certain class" automatically grow to enjoy what's familiar to them, then their first reaction to a new UI is the most unbiased information you're gonna get!

The real problem is that it's a lot easier to dismiss criticism than to sift through it to figure out what's valid and what's not.
Yeah, it's just "those people", because everything new is automatically better...
