I've been fending off gmail's "improved" interface for months now. I tried it on one account, found many things I disliked, and promptly went back to the old view.
I'm still fending off the train wreck that is Facebook's Timeline, though I see the clock ticking down as about half of my friends have been dragged into it kicking and screaming. There is so much labor involved in re-protecting your privacy under the Timeline format!
My life has been in an uproar for months (well, technically a couple of years), and I just don't have the mental capacity to deal with things not working the same old way right now.
(You may think we're taking a sharp turn at this point, but stay with me.)
My mother died a couple of days ago — not too many changes are bigger than that one.
So of course, the next day when I logged into my email to notify friends, gmail had railroaded me into the sucky new format :o/
You might expect Facebook to be next, but no. Firefox comes from nowhere and informs me that my version is outdated and offers me the "opportunity" to upgrade... which will not be optional next time. <facepalm>
I figure Facebook will have the impeccable timing to hit me during the memorial service or something. Ugh.
Why are ALL of these ubiquitous services "improving" all at once???
