If you feel strongly enough to talk about how much you hate a logo for hours, your energy would be better spent designing a logo to replace it.
I did. I posted a flat SVG version that use a minimal amount of beziers and circles to approximate the current design without gradients. The advantage is that you can inline it in the HTML and get automatic retina resolution and fast loading. It needs tweaking, though.
One advantage of using a flat look is that gradients are more heavy to render and creates problems if you try to do animation. So yes, getting rid of the gradients is a good idea.
