Constant change is a nuisance. When I'm working on a task I want to be able to concentrate on doing that task, not relearning my tools for the umpteenth time.

If the new feature doesn't affect my current workflow, then great! I can ignore it until I'm ready. The trouble, as the article notes, is the application making me aware of this brilliant new feature. Often application developers do this either by breaking a workflow and forcing interaction with the new feature or otherwise nagging me while I'm wanting to do something else.

Education outside of the application (tutorials, good documentation, blogs, etc) is perhaps a better way of driving adoption of features.
