Hi, I couldn't resist not to quote Mosfet here. Read the article http://www.mosfet.org/configurability.html about why configurability is good and that there is no "right design". Maybe it helps. I personally do not have a problem with the new login manager, because as most of the people, just hit enter on the preselected icon and type in the password (a single user machine). Actually it is better than the standard KDM in this regard, because on the old one you had to click and then type, so I usually typed both username and password and didn't bother clicking on the icons. They were just an eyecandy for me in the end or I disabled them altogether. But as said before by others, free software is about choice, nobody is forcing you to use it. If you do not like the design, you are free to select another one. If the new one is better, people will use it. The more choice here, the better, IMHO.
