It might be worth waiting a month or two to see what it's like, and then running this poll again at the end of that trial period.
I think that many people (myself included) would feel more relaxed about the change if there were a commitment that the system would be reverted quickly at the end of the trial period, if a majority of users (perhaps 2/3 of poll participants) decided that they preferred the old system.
It seems that some of the deeper concerns about this change are:
1. These types of changes often seem to be made unilaterally, without any idea of what a significant majority might prefer.
2. Changes like this often seem to be one-way changes.
