Thanks.

That vast majority of programs who start on v4 love it.

Too high a number of programs who move to v3->v4 rip some of their hair out.

If you reached in the same exact spot for your wallet every day for 4 years and then one day someone said "Oh my god, for so many reasons there is a much better place to keep your wallet." and they moved it there you'd be kind of annoyed the next day when you reached into your normal spot for your wallet. You'd probably be annoyed until you became used to the new spot and realized the benefits it brought.

There are many advancements in v4, but when people are so used to something that they use so frequently and for such important tasks, they'll often be aggravated at any change, good or bad.

Programs starting on v4 who never got used to having their wallet somewhere are by and far much happier with the system as it is their first experience with it and its how they are learning it.

As time goes on and people who were used to v3 become more used to v4, and as we make improvements to make the transition easier, the documentation better, and the overall experience more natural, people will be more at ease with their move from v3->v4.

Its 1am and as bad as my analogies are I think its time for me to get some sleep.
