Agree. Not thrilled with the barrage of change-is-bad comments on that post; those kinds of people are why Livejournal still looks straight out of 1999.

True, but I'd expect new social conventions to come out of it - eg, sticking what would have been the subject line on the first line, in bold. (That's something that's turned up a lot on Google+.)

I guess what disappoints me is that what comes out is invective, rather than constructive discussion.

It was v. interesting to read Denise-DWs commentary on the state of the LJ codebase. There appeared to be several hard-coded reasons why it was (is?) all a bit nineties.
