Well, The Server Side is in complete meltdown. No I don't mean the complete butt-fuck from Microsoft cash that they got either (although that mustn't help with their ability to walk without pain)! What I mean is their new login system -- you have to use your email address to login and not your user name. Talk about alienating your users! I registered years ago and I've got no idea what email address I used to register (probably an old work address) - so I can't login to my old server side identity! And without the email address I've got no hope of retrieving my password for that account. Hopeless.
Mind you these are people who try to use the Sun JDK command-line options with an IBM JVM.
They've lost it completely and they've lost me completely.
