There will be opposition to everything proposed on enwiki. I'd be just as annoyed as you if the consensus was, say 55%, much less than what is normally considered to be so. People are always scared of new things appearing, but that's how it is. I honestly can't see why those in opposition can't give this a chance, and complain only when something goes wrong.
We are upset because it was a gross violation of process, not because "we lost and you won." Some of the people who supported the proposal are just as upset about this. As far as I am concerned, something did go wrong, something far more important than rollback.
We didn't ask for undo did we? It just happened. There's probably other things too.
Clicking undo is exactly the same thing as clicking the "edit" link on the left half of a diff, except that an edit summary is filled in for you. That said, I would have liked to see community discussion about that before it was implemented, too.
