For me I feel it is just getting used to a new dialog or GUI. We are all stubborn creatures that struggle with change. However, I do see the new import options as an improvement. I was scanning individual images today and then working them in darktable. It was really nice how the new import option opens in a dialog showing my folders including the most recently used one where my scans were being placed. I find it easier now that I am getting used to it.
