This single command was immensely helpful. I'm very sad to see it removed from CS4.

Often I find I've got a solid fill shape layer that a gradient overlay just won't completely work with. In the past I would simply choose Layer > Change Layer Content > Gradient and I could then have two gradients on the same layer (via the additional gradient overlay).

With this command removed I now must create a new layer AS a gradient layer. This now means I must select the vector path, copy, paste, then choose Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient...
At least 3 steps have been added to the workflow.
