I agree with what was said that change will slow down as a technology matures. Also I think you have to really logicly think to yourself, what is the reality compared to specifically what you thought it coud have or should have been. If it is just a perception with no logic behind it, then you really need to question if it is grounded in anything. Then there is also the factor, there is only so much change at one time that there is any chance of getting right. If you are trying to push too many changes at once, there may be no time and resources to make sure they are done correctly. There is already the concern of this being a .0 version and how much of a mess it will be with bugs and things not being worked out to work correctly. I hope they tested things well. I think though if you ask yourself what the picture was you had in mind and how that compares with reality and you don't know, but just on some superficial level you just don't think you are excited enough about what is new, try grounding it in some real logical reasoning.
