A lot of the complaints I heard regarding the Vector rollout were based in
the fact that the Wikimedia Usability team has subverted and bastardized the
term "usability" in an attempt to impose purely aesthetic choices on the
broader community. And in some cases, the Vector skin has demonstrably made
the site less usable for "long-term Wikimedia contributors."

To each his own, though.
