The new changes are causing Google to "bleed out" their credibility. Some (most?) of the changes are good and beneficial. I hold that the changes, themselves, are not the issue with this deep and strong resentment to the change. It appears that Google has changed their focus from the end-user to the developer. This (in the opinion of many people) is the evil that made Microsoft evil. The Google mantra of 'don't be evil' seems to have been lost.
What needs to happen is that Google needs to admit their mistake. Admit to rolled out changes without adequate testing, admit to rolling out changes without user consent, admit to not providing an option for which format users can chose, admit to losing customer (user) focus. After these admissions, change things back to the way they used to be and then go back to do further testing. Then, after the testing, do roll out the changes again. Let people know beforehand. Let people chose to go back to the way things used to be. . . . . Respect people.. . . . I like many of the features of the changes. However the loss of focus on the end-user in favor of focusing on the developer is changing Google into Microsoft.
