I have no problem with them trying to ensure greater consistency with the GUI interface (and physical knobs) across different modes or different pages.
I'll give you an example:
when you adjust Power Windows, the big panels look like this on the right:
I would much rather than Pan / Tilt / Zoom / Rotate be in the exact same order between the Sizing palette and the Windows Sizing palette. This is an inconsistency that's irked me for years. So there is a lot of weirdness between modes where suddenly, the knob you think should be there
isn't there.
But that's not dumbing it down -- that's just putting the same knob function in the same place in two different modes.
