I really hate the move to webapp everything, at my workplace we used to have this great terminal interface as a server database, it was easy to script with, automate with, and use. Need a server? Just query it in terminal for data.
Now we have this shite webapp that only runs properly in IE, it's unusable for any sort of mass-querying, and it takes a good 10 or so clicks on buttons that resize themselves to find out all the info about a server, whereas the terminal program was just "ServerLookup X".
I too. I'm not against newness, not even some regression. You gain things, you may lose some, but right now it seems no gain only pain. All so that you may evolve it, so that it's css3-cute. Nowadays at least you'll have responsive layouts to avoid mobile/desktop redundancy. But in 2005 there was none of that.
