Probably me. I have been using 2.0.4 for a few years now. I don't really know what has changed "behind the scenes", but I don't like the look of it, and there's like 5 minutes of configuring stuff until I like it while 2.0.4 is relatively quick to be used.

Do you need to configure it all again when you upgrade? It shouldn't touch your settings at all and just start right back up again as normal after upgrading. Torrents stay loaded and everything.
That said, yeah, beyond various efficiency improvements/changes to the protocol, there's not really much noticeable difference. A few other bits and bobs added (the apps thing for example), but they serve no useful purpose and don't get in the way. There's also the new colour scheme, which I agree isn't as good as the old one. It's too green.

It's no wonder, though. That's just how the world works.

What do you not like about it? Other than the things I've mentioned, not a huge amount was actually changed. I can understand not wanting to upgrade if doing so will take effort, because it might well not be worth it, but trying to claim that it's turned completely shit seems a little silly. They haven't actually added anything much since 2.2.1. Of course, as of the first version with ads in, that argument will hold a bit more weight; but so far I can't really understand it.

They fucked up the interface with ads, bloated the whole torrent display and made hashing slow as shit. I'm creating a good amount of torrents per day and 2.2.1 is a ton faster than anything afterwards.

I've been using 3.2 (that's the newest version, no?) I don't see any ads.
