I like the the changes done to crafting so far. Can't say that it's being dumbed down, when the whole 'sit in one place for hours and press confirm' is quite dumb itself, while my inventory threatens to explode with all the different mats. I'll always vote for user friendly over elaborate if it ever boils down to something black & white like that. No reason not to have both, but I doubt that SE is capable of finding a happy medium, at least not in near future. They are going towards that slowly so, overall, I'm happy.
