As always, I feel like people are more averted to a change to a product than the product itself. People complain in droves about how "everything is RUINED" in Facebook or Gmail, but simple fact of the matter is that you can do far more in both than ever before.
Gmail features like fulltext label search make me prefer it over almost every other email client. And the author's comment about it being "too hard to change the subject" is by design, because it both breaks threading and pisses people off when you change the subject of an ongoing thread. New subject? Write a new email, idiot.
> It was a mistake to "release" Ember itself as a 1.0 before Ember.Data was ready.
I would only agree with that if ember.js were useless without ember-data or a similar data-persistence layer. I don't think it would be wise to delay the release of Ember 1.0 RC simply because ember-data is still in alpha. Not everyone is going to be using ember-data, and releasing ember without it lets them solve the data persistence on their own.
