If a removed feature can be retrofitted through an extension, that's OK.
But users are reluctant to upgrade/update, because developers remove useful features and add annoying restrictions for no reason.
If they make controversial changes, they should at least make those reasonable and logically comprehensive.
Example: Many Samsung Android 4.3/4.4.2 users refused to upgrade to Android 5, because the UI just looked wobbly and ugly. It lost the elegance and looked like a toy. Rounding and mininalism creep. The new notification menu lost its clear borders and they added wobbly animations that could be confusing and annoying with repetition. Also, white backgrounds on AMOLED = power waste and display lifespan reduction.
At least, they should have given users the option to choose their preferred UI. Is that so hard?!
