It's interesting how the lack of the home button and having to learn the new gestures seems to bother some people a lot. I think it's not so different from learning how to use a touch screen device in the first place, I know several people who fought it hand and foot, but when they finally had to choice and got an iPhone and learned how to use it they were for the most part completely happy with the way it works and how accessible it is. I think looking back a few years from now not having a home button and Touch Id any more will be the same thing, we may look back on it with some font memories but we'll have moved on and will be using the new devices with equal ease. I'm sure Apple won't stop making things better and easier even though I am equally sure we'll continue to deal with nasty bugs along the way and all that.
