Cries of Apple not understanding its users, cries of how Apple should go back to what it did previously, etc.  By the time that the next OS comes around, the previous one becomes sainted in these same users' eyes.

The fear that folks have for the changes in Lion have been mostly unfounded, and it is easily possible to either ignore the new features or to revert most of the major things back to how they used to be.

If anyone is still grappling with what to do about finding an alternative for any of these three programs, or any other program, I've helped a lot of users with this, and I'd be happy to make some recommendations if you like.
