I don't change the syntax just by fun. The old printer syntax was not event-loop friendly (i.e. it was blocking the GUI), so it was bad, and so I changed it. There is a page in the wiki that aims at listing all changes between Gambas 2 and Gambas 3. Some of them are automatically handled by the IDE when converting a project. If something is missing in that list, just tell me and I will fix it.
