Changes are a part of remaining competitive.  Change allows us to evolve and reach our maximum potential.  Change is something as natrual as being born, growing old and dying.

Once this process is complete we likely won't change for a very long time.  So much on the other site was broken and buggy this was needed.  Site performance was down and as a result so were the numbers of those visiting.  We needed this to survive.

You'll get used to it.  After you do I'm sure you'll find it to be much faster and with better features.  Give it some time.  It will grow on you.
