I am trying to explain to someone that mandatory updates that drastically alter the UI of a program are not, in fact, a good thing.

They don't seem to be hearing a word I'm saying.

they can't seem to understand that I really dislike the new UI with far too much whitespace making me have to scroll where I didn't before to see all the channels.

Follow

seriously all i'm saying is at least add an option to go back to using the old UI and they want to know why I want that. They can't seem to comprehend that anyone would want to do that.

It just feels like every time I make a point the other person says something completely irrelevant. I say something to the effect that I'd like to have more control over when and how the UI changes when there's an update, and they demand to know why. Then they talk about how I should be happy that they're making it NEW and BETTER and moving FORWARD with the design when it seems a lot more like new and worse to me

I'm sorry for just venting and complaining but I want to know--is it just me? or do other people think this way too?
