Hopefully they can limit their dumbing down of LR to only the import images
screen. I don't do anything much with it anyway except apply copyright
metadata, and it was an unintuitive design.

What concerns me is that Adobe eliminated some functions there instead of using
a more elegant design. Hopelessness & laziness is a depressing combination.

Here is Adobe's rationale:

Interesting. To read that (and it doesn't surprise me) it sounds like they've
thrown people who use Lightroom regularly under the bus in favor of
first-time "people passionate about photography and who use their cameras as
a creative outlet".

i.e. snapshot shooters with their shiny new digital cameras.

Yeah, there was quite a learning curve when I first started using Lightroom.
But there should be. It's not trivial, consumer-level software.

From reading that blog post and reading the comments it seems Adobe has made
a major workflow change in favor of first-time users who simply don't
understand what they're doing.

But who would understand what they're doing, once they'd worked through it
once or twice.

feh...
