It's a fine line to walk when lobbying for change -- you have to push hard enough, but not too hard, give credit, but not too much credit, and so forth. From what I can tell, you've done a lot of good with the new version, but every user has his own set of priorities as to which features matter more or less.
Right. The only way to really change thing in an open source project, though, is to step up and try to help making progress in the direction you want. Bitching volunteer developers only helps to stop any progress that would be happening.
In the case of the form management, it would help if someone would step up and try to work on writing up something that can bring those features back that some people apparently liked, without harming the features we gained by the switch to the new code, e.g. remembering a lot of field data in places where we didn't do that in 1.x times.
Shouting won't help. Trying to help to get code into place does. Scratching your own itch by actually working on it is the best way to get things done in any open source project.
