I appreciate the in-depth responses I've gotten, it's done a great deal to help me contextualize people's perspectives. I think I was shocked by the intensity of some of the posts because it's an intensity that I don't feel like I see on the forums elsewhere, even on topics people are clearly invested in. I suspect that might be because this is something big and new. By this point, a lot of people have been ground down in their back and forth, so there's just not as much passion for them to muster, but this is getting the benefit of fresh emotion.
I'm not an artist, and have never been much of an art appreciator, not in depth anyway, so I doubt I'll ever see things in the same detail and depth that you do. That having been said, none of the example shots I've seen show the new version of the lighting looking better in my untutored opinion. Which tells me that the change is a net negative, just one that I'd be able to live with. But even then, I'm gonna support anyone saying things should go back to the older, better version. If the change really is about accessibility, then I support the impulse but it can absolutley be just a setting thing.
