Most of the whining about the standards changing seems to be from people that want to buy a new bike super regularly, if you're holding onto your loved ones until they truly get old and die it's not really an issue. Except (and I think this is actually kind of a big deal because I am cheap and avoid bike shops when possible) all the different standards make it super hard to figure out which parts will work on your old dated frame if you don't have a decent amount of experience.
