Doug,

at first Damo wanted to be able to select the object and said that was not possible then Damo said he wanted to select a group of points, now Damo will say that is not it either and say he want to select a group on more then one object and it will go on and on until there is a very obscure and highly unlikely situation where you cannot do something the new way.

The reason he will do this is the same reason users like james, and sometimes yourself, keep using the argument like FH.

It is what they are use to and do not want change and find it hard to see advantages in a new way of doing things. So for Damon this new way is not an option come hell or high water an there is nothing you will be able to do to change that. In the next version, there will changes to features as well and there will be users that will not like it and no matter how important an improvement they will claim it is a step backward.

The improvement to the clipping mask is not because Illustrator is attempting to do something like FH but rather a long standing feature improvement request and if you notice the AI team has come along ways in addressing some outstanding feature requests
and bug fixes.

CS4 can use a lot of improvements and a lot of fixes as well especially to the way it handles text, especially a method of navigating from one column to the next and better control over justification, inline graphics and drop caps to name a few. But even with these types of improvements you are going to get someone like Damo to why does it work like it use to who needs drop caps I like to make it myself, what the hell does anyone need inline graphics for and for crying out loud what more control do we need for justification and worse of all Doug, they will want to know why the type cursor moves to the next column if they accidentally hit the enter on the extended keyboard.

You will see what I mean if any of these improvements come to AI CS 5.
