The law of unintended consequences rules us all. For that reason I view all changes at the blockchain level with skepticism. Extreme skepticism. I realize that they need to be made sometimes but...
I do think there needs to be protections and limits to abuse. Those limits should be at the User Interface level. I use one front end on hive almost exclusively but know that there are other places and options for me. I can freely discard a UI without any difficulty should the need or desire arise.
Means I vote with my wallet and my feet. I'm not physically or emotionally attached to any UI, only to the blockchain and with a recent example I'm not even under that constraint at a primary level.
Have you ever noticed that there is never enough bacon or shrimp at the buffet?
I think the changes are good as while they often break things, they also mix up the best strategies and make people explore more. Perhaps I can call it, Unwilling curiosity :)
The UI for some things will have a large effect, but many are very similar to each other, with a few enhancements either way. It will change in time though, as long as change keeps happening.
It is highly flexible in this regard - something that a centralized platform would avoid at all costs. They take the "captured audience" approach and tie people in by making sure that the cost of leaving is too high - leave and lose everything built.
And that everything is creamy? The game plays both ways... ;D
