For me it's simple: everything worked fine and then 'they' came up with
Pulse Audio.

Also, while at it:

kpdf worked fine and then 'they' got rid of it and replaced it with
some Okular in the newest KDE 4.x.

The Konqueror web browser had nice icons to zoom in/out of pages
and then 'they' removed them totally.

You could drag and drop files from a file manager to a console window
and then 'they' removed that functionality in KDE 4.x.

I could assign Alt-1. Alt-2, etc... to switch desktops and then they
made that really hard to assign in KDE 4.x (still haven't found it)

OK, what else... hmmm... can't find anything else.  For the moment :-)

I don't know if this is progress, but sometimes I doubt it.
