The problem isn't that the controls changed, it's the lack of accessibility. You’re basing 'fine' entirely on your personal preference, but dismissing someone else’s frustration as 'rage' is just condescending.
For many, the transition from 0.8.2 isn't about being 'unable' to learn — it’s about muscle memory built over hundreds of hours. Forcing a hold-action delay where there used to be instant response changes the entire 'feel' of the game. Telling someone they should 'get used to it in 5 minutes' completely ignores the fact that a toggle or a legacy setting would satisfy everyone without hurting your experience. Good game design is about options, not forced adaptation.
