I don't buy this argument at all. Just because there are new ways of doing things doesn't make it bad. This kind of attitude kills innovation.
I just got Windows 8 last week. I found the vast majority of functionality I needed without any help, in just a few minutes of playing around with it. My brother (who had Windows 8 for a few months) showed me just a couple more things, but none of them were necessary, only more convenient ways of doing the same things I'd already figured out how to do.
