New functionality is exactly why the interface is being changed now.  One big
reason is that there will soon be the ability to add python scripts to the
menus... How does this affect look and feel?  Well.. take a look at the past
messages in this mailing list for a more detailed description but basically it
comes down to the fact that a lot of python scripts have some sort of
interface.. well.. where does this interface showup when you select it from the
spacebar menu or from the top menus.  Other reasons to change the current
interface are to make things more consistent and easier to use.  Easier to use
is always a good thing!  I too like the current interface and will probably need
to relearn a few things here and there... but such is the case with an actively
developed piece of software! :)  Hurray for blender!
