All you've done is list the differences and assert they are dumb changes. You have said nothing to actually show that these differences are detrimental to usability...
No obscenity, and especially nothing incorporating pedobear or goatse man, please! Or if you do, please make it extra-humorous â" we wonâ(TM)t use it, but it might afford us a giggle. (If you do not know what either pedobear or goatse man are, I encourage you not to google them. Really.)
If somebody produces an addon that gives an advantage over anyone else, paid or not, it's a problem with the game engine. Blizzard has had a long-standing policy of disabling specific functionality when it got out of hand. Patch 2.0 (burning crusade) got rid of all the old braindead button mashing mods that could practically play the game for you. This new policy will have no effect on what addons are actually capable of doing.
Secondly, Lua does not support Unicode, which is a defect not only for text processing but for anything requiring serious localization.
Misinformation at its finest.

Lua is natively UTF-8 compatable. It does choke on the BOM in source files, but that can easily be fixed.
How does over a century of legal precedent work for you? Did you know the Dodge car company was started by Ford's brother-in-law who sued Ford for not acting in shareholder's best interest?
Couldn't have said it better myself. I had the (mis)fortune of working as a temp at City Hall. These people would snicker cheerfully about how they fined an old man for having his friend pick up his garbage instead of the city-mandated monopoly waste company. They have no souls.

Just to be clear, you are confirming my point, not contradicting it. The post I was replying to was being obtuse in the way you are describing.
"not designed to be" is not the same as "incapable of being"

You're in luck. There's no such thing as Daylight Savings Time. Perhaps you mean Daylight Saving Time?

It's about science vs. dogma, imo. We should base our policies on facts and observations rather than assumptions.

I see what you did there
That's not true. If it were then murder for hire would be illegal. Umm...

Imagine a tag on my post. Then re-read the post I responded to.
You just ripped off my method. It's patented. And copyrighted. You're screwed!
My bad... I'd be happy to settle this out of court. :)
Here's a different example. Skilled construction jobs are way up, and they are largely union. Therefore, unions create larger markets.
Population is increasing in America and most Americans are white.
Therefore, white people increase the population.
