Ah, the Western fallacy that new automatically equals better. This is sadly often not the case.

Have you ever moved to a new job or town and realized the old job or town was better? Or had a new incompetent boss come in and change everything for the worse and wish for the old boss? Or change a school and wish you were at the old school? Or had a new incompetent teacher replace an old better one? In all of those cases would you call those people who complain about changes for the worse as "babies"?

Have you ever had a piece of software updated that you reverted to the old version because you didn't like the new layout?

Wikipedia has a new skin, but they were smart about how they allowed existing established editors to opt out. Are those existing established editors "babies" too?

I am just trying to let you see how poorly thought out your blanket "babies" statement is.

When you spend years becoming an expert at a piece of software like mediawiki and knowing it intimately, then someone comes along and changes everything for no really good reason, with extreme major drawbacks, returning to a superior piece of software is not being a "baby". Maybe someday, when you have more than 549 edits invested here, you will see it from our point of view.
