I just wanted to comment and say, seeing your replies has made it very clear that you are listening, and I really appreciate that. When the changes originally went live, I assumed they were a final version and we wouldn't be seeing much else, especially since there wasn't a top-level or even discussion post about it. I think a post illustrating this attitude (and ideally listing the changes made thus far, and anything planned-but-incomplete) could be really helpful - I know I've relaxed a lot now that it's clear that (a) you're not finished and (b) you're open to feedback :)

Just my two cents, though. Just seeing the comments has done good by me, but I don't think everyone sees those.

(Choice of post to reply to arbitrary; this one just happened to flip my threshold of "okay, matt seems to genuinely be listening to people who complain, even when they're being very blunt")

Thank you. I'm feeling very short of warm fuzzies today, and every little bit helps.

When the changes originally went live, I assumed they were a final version and we wouldn't be seeing much else…

That seems to have been a very common assumption. I have found that surprising and am endeavoring to change minds on it. Writing a post would take me time I prefer to spend fixing issues, but I'm reaching out for help on managing the torrent of unhappy and expectations of future changes (I'm working today to try to decide what changes we should make, and we'll start work next week on some changes and some reversions).

ETA: I thought of a shorter post I could write.

Very awesome. Thank you for providing that feedback in a visible place :)
