That's great, except the test is not taking into account my personal preference. I don't use the icons very much to do things - I mostly use keyboard shortcuts. Now, I'm going to be stuck looking at that garbage all day.

Furthermore...76 participants? That doesn't prove anything.

If you know all the relevant keyboard shorcuts you can just hide the toolbars :)

I like the toolbars though. I guess what I like and what I want didn't test well though...with that enormous sample size.

Neither does your singular data point.

How about 200+ comments on the actual article mirroring my exact sentiment?

Because the internet is made of whiners?

And also people who somehow know that a UI without colors (or some other moronic, one-size-fits-all idea) is a good thing for every other user on Earth, for ever and ever, Amen.

They use and recognize the 2010 icons.

I don't use either, and I think the 2011 are easier and faster to recognize.
