Yes, I also disagree, although some of your points are valid, of course.

Changes are bad for creatures of habit and power users. And for 
documentation - even our own!

Many people think of TYPO3 as the "slowly evolving usability skunk" - 
and, of course, there are many issues and we try to rule some out with 
each release (without introducing new ones.. mostly..).

I replied to one of my "power editors" an hour ago, which also 
complained about changes. But that's how it is with software updates. 
Sometimes there are more "improvements" (Office 2003 -> 2007), sometimes 
there are fewer (2007 -> 2010).
Dependent on how you are used to old interfaces, you will call it 
improvement or disimprovement.

Advantage with TYPO3: You can rearrange and rename all the fields to 
stay with the alignment of 4.4.

Kind regards
Steffen
