...and a large number of people are emotionally invested in the likes of McDonald's. I'm not here to police what people like or dislike, though I expect the respect in turn for people to agree to disagree rather than attack people for not blindly worshipping the development team for every last little gesture that they indulge in.

Some people will take such gestures at face value, others will be more sceptical. I think both stances are perfectly acceptable. Just like how some people will prefer the original icon, others are indifferent and yet more have a preference for the new one.

All different groups can co-exist, though personal attacks and insults need to be left at the door.
