Dislike or despair?

These flowers are white and lovely, but some of us when we think of this change are red hot

Thomas Hawk talked about "haters", and people objected strongly. But that could be partly because our Tom just loves the new Flickr:
'While giving all users 1TB of free storage was the biggest news from Flickr today, it is only the beginning."

But many do hate it, that was my reaction when I first laid my eyes on the banner on top and for a second thought I had landed on Facebook:

"I did never think they could do justified on the photostream! though I saw people wish for it earlier, I thought them stupid LOL.
Is it possible to opt out of it? I thought I saw some-one ask that earlier but I'm too nervous/upset to read posts. Do we get to a photopage by clicking on a photo? I hope I get used to this but for the first time on Flickr I have doubts!
And the same thing I hated on other justifieds, loading for ever and ever, crazy.
This is sure to get more people writing on the HF than ever before. I LIKED THE PHOTOSTREAM, BUT NOT THIS! I have hardly ever complained but this is too much, aarrgghhh!
The whole thing is a big bug!! "

But many really hate it:

This will probably be like spitting in the wind, and my question will just waft away, but...
Not only do I not want the default opening view to be large pictures from my Contacts/Friends, I REALLY DON'T WANT to see strangers' comments on their photos. Don't want to see that trivia and nonsense. How do I stop that? (There's probably no way to stop it, is there).
HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE the new structure. HATE IT!

Hate it hate it hate it hate it. Change it back PLEASE. As someone said, all the familiar points of reference are gone. Too much going on, too busy. Old design was nice and clean.
CHANGE IT BACK!!

I WILL BE LEAVING FLICKR IN A FEW MONTHS WHEN MY 4th YEAR PRO ACCOUNT COMES DUE. THE NEW CHANGE IS NOT FOR CUSTOMER'S BENEFIT. SHAME ON YOU AMORAL CORPORATE JERKS

What kind of shit is that? Get rid of this monkey stuff and fire that teenager who build this crap. If there are no changes I'm going to leave Flickr immediately and I mean it.

I've spent HOURS organizing my previous Flickr layout, my albums and my collections... and everything is HORRIBLE now!!!!!!!!!
WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR SUCH A CRAP?

I paid in advance for a 2 years Pro service, but I will not renew it if it's still like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really dissapointed, everything was wonderful until now.
NOW I HATE FLICKR and its stupid MODERN DESIGN. "

At the moment one can find 808 on Iperny's expatriate group, though just a  few of them are Ipernians of old.
