You could command up arrow to back out of a folder already.  Similarly, you 
could tab to switch drives.  That ain't the point.  We already knew Apple was
going to improve the access from the keyboard.  What I didn't realize that
some of the mousing options were going away.  (I.e. clicking on the MF
icon to switch to the next app.)

What happened to the Clean Up command (Option and select Clean Up Window under
the Special menu)?  

I'll admit that there are a whole bunch of brand-new Mac users out there, but
that doesn't mean that you have to DELETE features, just make them OPTIONAL.

I don't mind having to learn new tools, and I accept the fact that I'll have to
test out the 50+ inits and cdevs 7.0 didn't know about.  It REALLY annoys me to
lose capabilities I use all the time.

Ah well, as an Apple employee recently quoted to me, these are opportunities
for 3rd party developers.
