Matt,
Somehow SW keeps getting more and more like SE with the stricter
workflow control. There is a guy at work who is absolutely going to
hate 2008. He always has every toolbar out. His graphics area is only
acceptable because of the screen resolution.
It sounds like 2008 will be another 2005 for me. I may stay away while
it is still in diapers. I went from 2004 to 2006 at work and then
2007. 2005 was where they took away performance. We didn't gain
anything in productivity in all that. I'm from Wisconsin. People from
Wisconsin in my age group knew that you didn't buy the first model
year of any American Motors product and you didn't buy one that was
built on any other day than Wednesday. :)

No. 2008 is the release where they take away options without giving
options back. In the initial betas, they had made huge changes to the
interface without offering a way to customize, and removed old ways of
customizing existing interface elements. I'm not against new ways of
doing things, but I do want to be able to customize the interface to the
way that I like to work. Options are valuable, locking users into a
certain way of working is not.
Gradually, they have added some options, but there are still things that
you will not be able to do in 08 that you are able to do in 07. Through
the betas and pre-release, they have done a lot of backpedalling because
of all of the valid complaints on top of all of the very obvious bugs. I
am experimenting with a new way of working with 08 to compensate for the
loss of a usable CommandManager.
