My thesis about the inevitable demise of all good things is that each of us selects the services we love because they had a specific mix of UX and functionality. After 5, 10, maybe 15 years they change so much that they don't look and work anymore the way they did when we discovered them. We would not have picked them in their new shape, so we cry that they have been ruined. The chances that a service improves after our initial selection are slim. The chances that it gets worse are large.

It happened to me with the new UI of K9. I would never installed that app if I saw it in its current UI. I installed it precisely because it's old odd UI suited my needs. Given the U shape of their votes on the Play store I'd say that about half of their users share my point of view. I keep installing the last version before the new UI.
