FWIW, not exactly releated to this thread, but this is my problem with
apps, particularly phone apps but it applies elsewhere as well.  I've
been using some app for months/years/whatever and suddenly after an
update, it's a totally different app with a different UI and different
features, some of the ones I cared about the most being gone.

Please, if you're an app writer, don't do that.  :)
