(Having been a fan of the original.)
My biggest complaint with SI is their forums. The very fact you have to sign up to just READ the things is the most backward ass decision I've ever seen. There is absolutely no reason or justification in the world for this to be the case. It's almost like the forums are supposed to be some sort of Masonic society. I can understand some people being concerned.
I'll reserve judgement until I see screenshots of OOTP. OOTP has a lot more work behind than EHM ever did. Hopefully that'll mean more in the interface department. However, given the way OOTP6 has been treated, various promises that have been made and as yet unfulfilled, combined with what happened with EHM when SI bought it, OOTP6 may well be the last OOTP I buy.

These forums will be the thing I miss most in the pre-merger OOTP, by far. All the hours and hours worth of stuff I've typed and read here - the idea of it being gone is sad to me.
