Don’t use such arguments in such discussion because the same goes for you.

But no one give no option to choose. There no checkbox in preferences if I as user want to see Tool Shelf on T not this button I don’t need on T. No checkbox in preferences if I as user find not the same comfortable & fast to access & work with tools settings in this Top Bar as before in Tool Shelf organized area. Cool transparent, scalable, comfortable to call on T, quick to access & use at work area just wasted to bring some bells & whistles I don’ need. I feel uncomfortable to use it all because i know how it was before & I know what i feel before when use it for a lot - I feel it better. So what’s now?
Most annoying thing that 2.8 feels for me like 99 % of cool new stuff & 1 % of shit with this buttons & Top Bar …
It all just like here it is - now love it all as it is because it was the one & only option. All who have different vision & feelings - go f* your self… It’s not democratic.
I think Blender needs to have some kind of launcher with voluntary option to send usability statistic. The one & only right way to rework/remove something without endless discussions - have clear usage statistic for each interested feature what gives understanding what to do. Based on such statistic prepare change list concept. Used same launcher to distribute this concept list as questionnaire for voting to all users. Active community part choose what they want & what they not. Give back another statistic to guide Blender evolution. Most of users don’ have time or possibility to spend hours to read forums & write posts. But it’s not hard to spend some 10 - 15 minutes to read something already collected and prepared and just give vote.
To choose way for moving forward somewhere on forum where sit 20 - 30 active users - not representative. Launcher, usage statistic, change list concept, questionnaire for voting - what we need IMHO …
