You've obviously never had to abandon a program you used for a very long time
and that you've taken a strong liking to for whatever reasons, or your
mentality is quite different from mine. I quite often find even simple
upgrades from one major version to the other annoying because things I got
used to have changed and I have to adapt to them.
Note that I do not think that "my mailer doesn't support it so I do not have
to go to the trouble of changing the recipients by hand" is a good argument
and Daniel obviously realized that, but just saying "hey, it's old anyway so
just switch to something newer" seems at least slightly out of touch with
reality to me...
