Perhaps that is because people who see it as an improvement don't 
comment, while those who it annoys are inclined to winge.

I certainly think it is an improvement.  It always used to annoy me that 
  rotating the cave was likely to change the zoom.  It would be perfect 
if there was a way to rotate only (after all, shift middle tilts only), 
perhaps shift button-1 could be changed to do that?
